Admission is coordinated with Leeds City Council. Published Admission Number (PAN) is 240 for year 7 in 2026. Allocation of places follows four priorities: 1) Children in public care or who were looked after and are or were looked after, including those with special guardianship or adoption; 2) Children with brothers or sisters at the school living at the same address; 3) Children for whom Cockburn John Charles Academy is the nearest high school; 4) All other children. Within each priority, places are allocated by distance (closest first). If siblings from the same family are tied for the final place, all are admitted. In-year applications are handled via Leeds City Council with waiting lists and appeals processes. Offers are made by the Local Authority on national offer day. The note details explain distance measurement and tie-breaks, and provide the statutory context for over-subscription and admissions timelines.
