Admissions

There are two main points of entry to the school, in Year 7 and in the Sixth Form.

From time to time places arise in Years 7 - 11 during the academic year. In these rare instances, a waiting list system is operated and parents registered on the list will be contacted by the school based on the oversubscription criteria.
