Apply for a Year 7 place

An in-year admission is an application for a child to join a school outside of the normal admissions process. The normal admissions round is when children apply for their first secondary school place, usually to start in Year 7. In-year admissions are made at any other time, either for Year 7 after the main intake has been completed or for any other year group. These applications are managed by Central Bedfordshire Council. Please use the link below to apply online.
