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 Roman Catholic school, it may give priority to children of that faith, then usually by distance. Check its admissions policy.

For the sixth form, apply to the school directly.

How many families applied: Year 7

For September 2026, 102 families put this school as their first choice, and 108 places were offered. 81 of the families who put it first got a place (79%).

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.
