Introduction

Dear Parents / Carers

I am well aware that the move into secondary education is an

important time for parents/carers and young people. The

information in this booklet is to help you understand how the

schools¡¯ admissions process works. It is to help you make an

informed decision when applying for a school place. It acts as

a guide to secondary education.

You can express a preference for ?ve different schools. Each

school has an admission limit. There can be no guarantee that

everyone can receive their ?rst preference of school. It is

important you take this into consideration when making your

application.

You should ensure that you use all the preferences available to

you. I wish your children every success in secondary education.

Foreword

The transfer from primary to secondary

education is an important and often worrying

time for both parents and children. We are

trying to make it as easy as possible for you to

select and apply for a secondary school place

for your child. The Local Authority (LA) has

produced this booklet, which contains all the

necessary guidance to enable you to apply for

the school(s) that you prefer.

This booklet tells you how to ?nd out more

about individual schools, and includes the

dates of the open days and evenings when

you can visit the school(s) you are

considering. Details of all schools in the city

can be found on pages 6 - 18. These details

include the size and type of each school, and

the admission statistics for the previous

academic year - 2022/2023

All of the information in this booklet is

both useful and important, but please

pay particular attention to any

information that has been placed in a

coloured box like this one.

We hope that you will ?nd this booklet

helpful in determining your school

preferences.

* Please note: throughout this document any reference to parents also refers to the carer

and any other person who has parental responsibility for the child.
