Admissions

• How to apply (opens in a new tab)

  You apply through your council, not the school - even for academies and free schools. Applications close on 15 January, the year before starting.

• Wakefield admissions (opens in a new tab)

  The council publishes the oversubscription criteria and last year’s offer distances, which is the closest thing to knowing your chances.

• If you are refused a place (opens in a new tab)

  You can appeal, and you can join a waiting list at the same time. Accept whatever offer you get first - declining it can leave you with no place at all.

• This school’s own admissions (opens in a new tab)

  Schools that set their own criteria - faith schools, grammars, academies - publish them on their own site.
