All admissions of pupils and students admitted to one of our academies will have been at the request of a Local Authority to ensure that admission is appropriate to age, aptitude and ability and is seen as efficient and effective use of resources.
We can provide parents and carers with information about each of the academies and what we provide but applications have to go through a Local Authority.
The Trust's Admissions Policy provides further information.
