Norfolk School Admissions

We are very proud of our school and our academic achievements, we are also passionate about education in its widest sense especially in the Arts.  At present, we are heavily oversubscribed in most year groups however, we do occasionally have places available due to students moving out of the area. 

Should you wish to make an in-year application for your child, we ask that you read the information and complete the form using this link: In-year school admissions and then send it to the Local Authority who manage our admissions.

If the school is oversubscribed , the criteria published by the Local Authority and made available to all parents/carers, will determine the means of allocation. Parents/carers who live outside of Norwich are advised to contact the Director of Children’s Services for information relating to the arrangements for transferring to this school.
