Admissions Information

School Admissions

Central Bedfordshire Council provide the service for School Admissions.

Children normally transfer at 13+ (end of Year 8) to the catchment area upper school. All upper schools have a 6th form and pupils may remain at the school up to the age of 18 or 19 years.

Parents have a right to express a preference for a school which is not within the catchment area, but places can only be offered if there is space available. If the number of requests for places at a school exceeds the number of places available, places will be allocated in accordance with the Admissions Criteria for that school.

General Information for Parents

During the year before transfer

All prospective parents will be invited to an “Open Evening” at Harlington to meet the Headteacher, staff and students; this is usually held in early October.

Parents and students are then invited to apply for their place through Central Bedfordshire Admissions Service by the end of October.

Parents and Students are notified of their place in line the national offer day on the 1st March.
