We are an academy school and the admission authority is the Collaborative Learning Trust. There are 255 places for admission to Year 7. The school operates within the framework of the Leeds City Council Admission policy for Leeds community and voluntary-controlled schools. You can find information about schools in Leeds on their website here. You can read our school's admissions policies here:

• Applications for Year 7 places in September 2024 – read our 2024/25 policy
• Applications for year 7 places in September 2025 – read our 2025/26 policy

Details of expressions of preference and final admission numbers for September 2023 were as follows:

Appeals

If we cannot offer you a place, you will have the right of appeal. The appeal panel is independent of the school and council and their decision is legally binding. Before you appeal you:

• should accept any place that you have been offered in case your appeal is not successful
• should think about why you are appealing and check if it is likely to be successful
• could read the advice for appealing school places on GOV.UK 
• could get independent advice on making an appeal from a charity

Leeds City Council arranges our appeals, and you can find the appeal form at School appeals (leeds.gov.uk)    

If you are appealing for a year 7 place for September 2025, you need to submit your appeal form by any deadline set out on this page to ensure the appeal will be heard before the summer holidays.   

You can appeal because you want your child to attend a particular school. These are successful if the panel agree that the reasons for your appeal outweigh the school's decision not to admit any more children.

Wanting your child to go to a school because you think it is the best one in the area is not likely to convince the panel that your child should get a place there.
