Every local-authority-maintained school must publish specific information on its website to comply with The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 and 2016 and other relevant legislation.

The local authority manages admission procedures at 4+ and at 11+ and parents must complete forms to apply at each stage. Applications for secondary school places are completed in the Autumn term of Year 6.
Unfortunately, there is no automatic guarantee of a place.
