Primary and Secondary Admissions
View our primary and secondary prospectuses here
Note: parents wanting a place at the normal point of entry (reception at primary phase, year 7 at secondary phase) must apply via their home local authority, not the local authority where the school is situated. If you live in Northampton this means you will need to apply via West Northamptonshire Council as outlined below.
We follow the Northamptonshire Co-ordinated in-year Admissions Scheme, so to apply for a place you need to fill in the Northamptonshire Admissions Form which is available on the West Northamptonshire Council website. You may also ask for your child’s name to be added to our waiting lists.
