The admission of your child to a primary or secondary school is a very important step for your child. 

The most important part of stating a preference of a school for your child is to pay a visit to the ones that interest you.

Questions about admissions to school are complex and are not easily answered in brief responses. If you are in any doubt about anything you read in the admission booklets, contact the admissions team.

Advice and information about admitting your child to school or transferring your child from one school to another is available in the booklets below.

You can also request a booklet from our admissions team.
