Summary of admissions policy

1a.  Children in public care or fostered under an arrangement made by the local authority or children previously looked after by a Local Authority (evidence required).

1 b. Pupils without an EHC plan but who have Special Educational Needs, or with exceptional medical or mobility needs, that can only be met at a specific school (evidence required and conditions apply).

2. Children with older brothers or sisters who will be at school at the start of the academic year when the applicant is due to start, and are living at the same address. This priority will not apply where the older sibling joined the sixth form from a different school (conditions apply).

3. We will give priority to applicants where the application is for the nearest priority school.

4. We will give priority to applicants who choose a Leeds school which is not their nearest priority school.

You should read the full admissions policy before applying. For some criteria, you may need to send extra information.
