Information concerning the general arrangements in Northumberland is given separately
in a County education booklet, copies of which are available for parents of pupils
who are starting or transferring schools next September. This includes a copy
of the County Admissions Policy.

All parents, whether in or outside the school’s catchment area, must fill in a School Preference form. This should be returned to County Hall by 15th December at the latest, prior to their child entering school and again when transferring to Middle School. Parents who already have older children in school should note that this is a change in arrangements. Forms are available from the school office.
Children from our school usually transfer at the age of 9 to Bebside Middle School, Delaval Middle School, Wensleydale Middle School or Tynedale Middle School*
At the age of 13 most transfer to Blyth Community College. *Depending on catchment areas or parental choice.
Every effort is made to make a place available for your child in our school. However, schools have a limit on the number of children they can take. This figure is agreed with governors and the Local Authority. If the number of children wanting a place is below the set figure, all will be admitted. There may, however, come a point when there are too many children of that year group for them all to be given a place. If this should happen we will give priority to children according to a list of carefully agreed criteria. (See Admissions Policy)
If, having considered your case carefully, we cannot offer you a place, you have the right to discuss the matter with the LEA. An independent panel will hear your case. It has the power to override the decisions of the Local Authority.
