• Open day information Autumn
  Parents should contact the school for information about visits or online resources to help in making secondary transfer preferences. Open evenings / mornings take place in September and / or October.

• Admissions notes
  There is a separate admissions policy for entry to sixth form. The PAN relates to students who wish to transfer into Year 12. Pupils in Year 11 do not have to make a formal application to stay on in Year 12 but do have to meet the same academic criteria to access courses as external students. Priority for children at a linked primary school applies only for normal round admission into Year 7. The 2025 admissions policy was amended to include Wembury Primary School as a feeder primary, omitted in error.
