Coordinated Admissions Process. Please note that if you reside in Staffordshire, you must make your applications for all of your preferred Secondary schools through Staffordshire County Council. 

Whilst governing bodies of Voluntary Aided and Foundation schools are the admission authority for their school and apply their own admission criteria,  we do operate a co-ordinated admissions process with all schools within Staffordshire and also with our neighbouring local authorities. This coordination results in all parents receiving only one offer of a Secondary School on the national offer date of 1 March 2011.

To view the co-ordinated admission arrangements which will be used in the allocation of places to schools for the academic year 2010-2011 please select the following link Co-ordinated admission arrangements.

Please click on the following link for details of the admissions criteria used for allocating places at Community Controlled, Church of England Aided, Catholic Aided and Foundation schools within Staffordshire Admission Criteria. 

If you are interested in applying for a school place at one of our neighbouring local authority schools, you will need to contact the local authority in order to receive information about their admissions critieria neighbouring local authorities.

Published Admissions Number. Each school has a Published Admissions Number (PAN) which indicates the number of pupils that may be admitted to a school in each year group. This number may only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances. For details of each schools published admissions number please see Section 4 of the Information Booklet.
