Apply for a Year 7 Place
Houstone is a comprehensive school, we do not select by ability or aptitude. All applications for places at Houstone are made in accordance with the Local Authority’s co-ordinated admission arrangements and will be made on the common application form provided and administered by the Local Authority.
These can be obtained through the Central Bedfordshire website or they can be contacted on 0300 300 8307.
Once the local authority has processed your application it will be forwarded to us here at Houstone. A place will only be offered if we have not reached our optimum number in that year group.
A member of our team will then contact you to arrange an initial meeting. If we are unable to offer a place you will be contacted by the local authority who will advise you on how to proceed.
