How do I apply for a place in Year 7?

The Academy’s admission arrangements follow the guidance contained in the East Riding of Yorkshire Schools guide for parents. All parents must apply to their home authority.

East Riding residents may apply online on www.eastriding.gov.uk using the quick link ‘Apply for a School Place’. Those East Riding parents who choose not to apply online will receive an application form from the Authority.

Year 7 Intake

The published admission number for September 2023 is 270 students. From September 2024 the Academy will have a published admission number (PAN) of 210 students.

Appeals

Appeals for ‘in-year’ school admission requests are normally held within 30 school days of the date you appeal is received. You will be notified of the date of your appeal no later than ten school days before the appeal is due to take place.

Appeals for entry into Year 7 to start secondary school for the first time – what are called ‘normal’ admission requests – are usually held in the summer term after parents/ carers have been notified of the refusal of a school place, commonly in June and July.

Starting school in September 2024

For applications to start a secondary school for the first time in September 2024, appeal forms should be submitted by the parent/carers by 26 April 2024 and appeals are planned to be held between Wednesday 15 May and Friday 28 June.

Visiting Arrangements

An open evening is held in the Autumn term every year for prospective parents and their children to tour the Academy and meet with students and staff. The date of the open evening is advertised in advance of the event. Parents are welcome to visit at alternative times. Please contact the main Academy reception to arrange a visit.
