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: as a Church of England school, it may give priority to children of that faith, then usually by distance. Check its admissions policy.

How many families applied: Year 7

For September 2026, 31 families put this school as their first choice, and 68 places were offered. 31 of the families who put it first got a place (100%).

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.
