Admissions

The information on this page is provided to support schools, Multi-Academy Companies (MAC) and Catholic Multi-Academy Trusts (CMAT) in delivering their responsibilities in relation to school admissions and to ensure that the requirements of the School Admissions Code are met.  

All that you need should be found within the documents provided, however, if you have any queries please seek further support, advice and guidance. 

  • If your school is part of a MAC or CMAT support should initially be requested from the member of your central team with overall responsibility for admissions.  
  • For VA schools or in urgent situations that require an immediate response (where a delay could be detrimental to the school or child), please contact Rebecca Tonks: tel 01675 464755 ext. 0110 or [email protected]
