Admissions are handled by North Yorkshire Council (NYC); all enquiries and applications must be directed to NYC in the first instance. Year 6 pupils from catchment primary schools must still submit a formal Year 7 application via NYC, and parents can express a preference for state-funded schools; timelines and guidance are on the NYC website (How to Apply).
