Year 7 Admissions for September 2026
The normal admission round for entry to
Year 7
in September 2026 has now closed.  For late applications, parents should contact their home local authority
In-Year Admissions
Parents can apply for a place for their child at any time outside the normal admissions round. As is the case in the normal admissions round, all children whose Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) plans name the school will be admitted. Likewise, if there are spaces available in the year group you are applying for, your child will be offered a place.
If there are no spaces available at the time of your application, your child’s name will be added to a waiting list for the relevant year group. When a space becomes available, it will be filled by one of the pupils on the waiting list in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Priority will not be given to children on the basis that they have been on the waiting list the longest.
Applications for in-year admissions are coordinated by Staffordshire  County Council, further details can be found by visiting:
