Admissions to School 2010/2011
Here are details of how to apply for a school place if your child is transferring from primary to secondary school, from a separate infant to junior school or starting full time education for the first time in the 2010/2011 academic year. Please note the process for applying for a reception and or a junior school place will not start until September/ October 2009.
Please refer to A Guide for Parents 2010/2011 before making an application.
* Please note on 8th July 2009 the Council's Cabinet voted to consult on the closure of Abbeydale Grange School. Whilst this is not a final decision to close, it is understandable that this may cause uncertainty for prospective pupil and parents.
