Admissions to our School

If you are considering a place for your child here, we would be pleased to meet you and talk about what we have to offer. If you would like to arrange a visit, please do get in touch with us by phone, email or letter. 

Although we are our own admissions authority and are responsible for setting our admissions policy and making decisions, when an application is made to join us, we use the services of Devon County Council's Admissions Service to manage applications on our behalf. For further information or advice about the admissions process, parents can call My Devon on 0345 155 1019 or visit the link below.

Parents can apply for a Year 7 intake place here using their Local Authority Common Application Form (for children who live in the Devon County Council area). This is available at the link below or by requesting a copy of the D-CAF3 from My Devon. Applications should be made up to the national closing date of 31st October – late applications may be at a disadvantage. Decisions are sent to parents around 1 March. 

Admissions Policies

These documents are also available on Devon’s website, along with the Local Authority’s own policies for co-ordinating admissions applications at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionarrangements

​

The Appeals Process

Any parent who is refused admission has the right to an appeal that is independent of the school. We use the Independent Devon Admissions Appeal Panel to handle any appeals being made. For further information, please call My Devon or visit the link below.

The Appeals Timetable

We are required to set out the appeals timetable for this round of admissions. This is set out in our Admissions policy linked below.

Appeals at the normal round of admissions to Year 7 will be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals on 22nd April 2024. Where the application was not made in time for a decision to be made on 1 March 2024, they will be heard within that 40 day period or, if that is not possible, within 30 days of the appeal being lodged.

​

For in-year admissions in any academic year, appeals must be heard within 30 school days of being lodged.
