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.

For the sixth form, apply to the school directly.

How many families applied: Year 7

For September 2026, 210 families put this school as their first choice, and 247 places were offered. 172 of the families who put it first got a place (82%).

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.

Before and after school

These clubs are registered with Ofsted at the school's postcode, so usually run on the school site:

• Premier@BettyLayward. Ofsted report
• Clissold Leisure Centre Creche And Holiday Playscheme, holiday club. Ofsted report

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