Admissions Criteria

Yorkmead follows the Local Authority's process for admissions and oversubscription. To appeal a local authority decision you must contact the local authority's Admission and Appeals Team. Details on how to apply, oversubscription criteria and the process are available via the Birmingham City Council online admissions page. All application forms are disbanded at the end of each academic year, so you must re-apply to remain on the waiting list. In-year admissions require a completed in-year admissions form; priority is set by whether a sibling is already attending Yorkmead, a child’s specific vulnerabilities, and distance from the school.
