Admissions

Places for Year 7 are applied for through your home council, not the school.

Apply for a secondary school place on GOV.UK

How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.

How many families applied: Year 7

For September 2014, 54 families put this school as their first choice, and 47 places were offered. 32 of the families who put it first got a place (59%). More families put it first than there were places.

Offers made on national offer day, from the Department for Education. Waiting lists and appeals can change things later. The hardest schools to get into.

• Epic Camps GJHA, holiday club. Ofsted report

Ask the club or the school about times, prices and places. More clubs nearby.
