School Admissions Policies for 2025/26 are now available to view along with the 2024/2025 policies. Primary and Secondary policies can be found by school. Individual school policies can also be viewed on the school web pages directly.
For September 2024 and 2025 entry a number of schools consulted and agreed on changes to their admissions criteria. Therefore please look through the admissions policies for each school.
Any person or body who considers that any maintained school or Academy's admissions arrangements are unlawful, or not in compliance with the School Admissions Code or relevant law relating to admissions, can make an objection to the Schools Adjudicator by 15 May 2024. Further information including a form is available from the Office of Schools Adjudicator.
We currently co-ordinate all admissions, including in-year admissions. Any applications for a school place should therefore be directed to the School Organisation (Admissions) team in the first instance.
If you wish to apply for in-year admission at St Mary and St Benedict Catholic Primary School, you need to contact the school directly for admission.
