Admissions Criteria

Applications must be made via the Wolverhampton Local Authority coordinated admissions procedure. The Academy requires a Supplementary Information Form (SIF). In-year applications should be made via the local authority, which will forward your application to the school for consideration by the governors. If there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria will be applied. Applicants will be informed of the outcome in writing as soon as possible, with an appeals process through an independent appeal panel.
