Admissions

You apply through the council where you live, not to the school, naming up to six schools in order on one form. Every applicant on time hears on the same national offer day. Schools with a religious character often ask for a supplementary information form as well, returned to the school by the same deadline.

13 first-preference applications and 34 applications naming it at any preference for 15 places offered (September 2026 entry, DfE)

Entry	Places offered	First preferences	All preferences

September 2025	15	11	31
September 2024	21	14	38
September 2023	11	11	26

These are counts of applications and offers on national offer day. They are not a chance of getting in: places are allocated by the school's published admissions criteria, such as siblings, distance or faith.

Ofsted ungraded inspection, 5 May 2022: School remains Good

An ungraded inspection confirms or questions the previous grade; it does not set a new one.

Historic. This is the last time Ofsted gave the school a single overall grade. Overall grades were abolished for state schools in September 2024.
