Admissions
Admissions Procedure:
Sapientia Education Trust is the admissions authority for the school as an academy. The decision of the Trust is for the school to apply the Suffolk Local Authority (LA) admission rules for all application decisions.
For academic year 2023 - 2024 the pupil admission number (PAN) for years 7, 8 & 9 is 85 per year. For operational reasons the PAN for year 10 is 55 and year 11 is 70.
How to Apply:
The application process for admissions into Year 7 in the following academic year is co-ordinated by Suffolk Local Authority (LA), which acts on behalf of the Trust to offer places at the school. Parents should apply online at: Apply for a secondary school place 2024/2025 | Suffolk County Council or submit a Suffolk Common Application form (CAF1), available from your child's primary school or from the LA Admissions Team, no later than the national closing date of 31 October. Offer letters will be issued by the LA on the national offer date of 1 March. Late applications (those submitted after the national closing date) will be handled by the Admissions Team. For further information and specific dates, please refer to the full scheme for secondary coordination, available from the LA Admissions team or by clicking on this link SCC Admissions Web Page.
To apply for a place after the start of term in Year 7 or in any other year group, please see document links below. Please note applications should be completed and sent directly to the school. The admission authority will apply SCC's admissions policy when considering any applications:Admissions to schools in Suffolk for the 2024/2025 school year | Suffolk County Council
All policies can be made available in paper form via a request to the main office.
Admissions Policy Consultation
In accordance with paragraph 1.45 of the Schools Admissions Code, the School is required to consult on its Admission arrangements every 7 years even if there has been no change to the policy over that period. We consulted on this in December 2022. The next review will be completed in Autum 2029.
