We have now determined our Admissions Policy for 2024-2025 and the document can be found below. If you have any queries in respect of this then please email these to Mr Simon Campbell at [email protected]
All of our admissions are handled by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) – please contact them directly for applications to Houstone School. They can be contacted on 0300 300 8037 or you can apply online here: School admissions | Central Bedfordshire Council.
Once CBC has processed your application it will be forwarded to us here at Houstone School. A place will only be offered if we have not reached our optimum number in that year group.
A member of our Administration Team will then contact you to arrange an initial meeting. If we are unable to offer a place you will be contacted by CBC who will advise you on how to proceed.
Start dates and times for September 2022 differ by year group:
Year 7 – Monday 12th September – start at 8:25AM (gate open from 8AM) and finish at 3:20PM
