How to apply for a place in Year 7
The application process for admissions into Year 7 is co-ordinated by Cambridgeshire Local Authority (LA), which acts on behalf of the governing body to offer places at the College. Parents should apply online at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/admissions or submit a Cambridgeshire Application Form, available from their child鈥檚 primary school or from the LA Admissions team, no later than the LA deadline at the end of October. Offer letters will be issued by the LA on the National Offer Date (1st March or first working day after). Late applications (those submitted between the October deadline and the end of the co-ordination period) will be handled by the Admissions team.
For further information and specific dates, please refer to the full scheme for secondary co-ordination, available from the LA Admissions Team or from the website,

How to apply for places in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11
For applications for places in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 at any time of the year, a Local Authority 鈥榠n-year鈥� application form must be completed and returned to the Local Authority Admissions team. See website听
In the event of over-subscription the criteria set out in our Admissions Policy (see panel on the left of this page)will be applied and places offered in accordance with those criteria.
Parents wishing to visit the school prior to submitting an application are welcome to do so. However, this is not always possible to organise at short notice and visits are usually conducted in small groups. Visits are not interviews and do not affect any decision regarding the availability of a place.听
