Admissions

We are an academy school and therefore our admission authority is Abbey Multi Academy Trust.

The school’s admission authority sets the admission policy every year. You can read our school’s admission polices below:

  • In-year applications to start at our school between September 2023 and July 2024 – read our 2023/24 policy and SIF
  • Applications for Reception places in September 2024 – read our 2024/25 policy and SIF
  • Applications for Reception places in September 2025 – read our 2025/26 policy and SIF (please note that this will be published on our website by no later than 15th March 2024)

How to apply for a September 2024 place

If you are applying for a Reception place for September 2024, all applications are made in advance. Offers are made by local authorities on national offer day.  

For admissions into Reception in September 2024, applications must be made via the Calderdale Council admission process. The online application form and further information on the admission process can be found on the Calderdale Council website.

If you wish to apply under Christian Commitment Criteria you should obtain a copy of the School’s Information Form (SIF) from the school and return the SIF to the school by 15 January 2024. Failure to complete this form may affect the oversubscription classification into which your child is placed
