Other Years
Applicants for admission in Years 8 to 11 and in Year 7 from the beginning of the Spring term should request an in-year application form by emailing
Vacancies are rare and are normally filled from the waiting list for the relevant year group. Places on the waiting list are subject to an entrance test. If the appropriate tests have already been taken in the applicant’s current school, then it may be possible to use the existing test results. However these must be provided and verified independently by the current school.
Any places which arise will be allocated using the Governing Body’s admission policy; length of time on the waiting list will not be a factor. If parents or guardians wish their child’s name to remain on the waiting list, they should contact the school in the first week of July to register continued interest. If an email or letter is not received then the child’s name will be removed from the waiting list until further notice.
