Proposed Co-ordinated Scheme for Secondary School Admissions for 2025/26

The application round for entry into YR7 - 2025 opens on 1 September 2024.  The deadline date for applications to be submitted is midnight on 31 October 2024. The  home  address  given  for  the  child  must  be  the  address  where  the  child is resident as of the deadline date.

Government legislation states that young people have to stay in education or training until  their 18^th birthday. This will usually be at secondary school until the academic year in which they are 16 (some students may  transfer to Further  Education  or  a University Technical College  at  14). Students can then choose from one of  the following options post-16; full-time education, such as school or college; an apprenticeship; employment or volunteering alongside  part-time  education or accredited training. It is compulsory that they participate in education or training until their 18th birthday. The only exception is early achievement of level 3 qualifications for example if they take A level exams in year 12.
