The Local Authority operates a timetable coordinated admissions procedure for all schools and academies in line with Government legislation.

The Local Authority will manage the process on behalf of the school according to the scheme, which they will publish in their Admissions Booklet for that year.

Also contained within the booklet will be information on how to complete their application form online, dates for notification to parents of admissions decisions and the closing dates for accepting places or lodging appeals.
