Admissions to other Year Groups 

If you are looking for a new school place for your child that is outside of the normal admission cohorts listed above, you should apply directly to the Trust/school. This is called an In-Year Admission, and relates to Years 1-6. It also relates to Reception Year from the Spring term onwards. Admissions Arrangements and an application form can be downloaded below which can be returned directly to the school or to altadmissions@activelearningtrust.org  You will be informed of the outcome of your application by the Active Learning Trust.

Admission Appeals

If your application to either of the routes above is unsuccessful, you have the right appeal against the decision to refuse your child a school place. Admission appeals are the responsibility of the Active Learning Trust, and an application for appeal can be made by completing this form. An appeal will give you the opportunity to outline your case for admitting your child to school. You will be informed of the outcome of any appeal by the Active Learning Trust.
