Mid Term Transfers & Current Spaces

We currently have limited spaces available in years 2 and 3. Please contact the school office for more information on the spaces available.

For midterm transfers, please apply via the Learn Academies Trust admissions portal at apply.learnat.uk. The school no longer processes midterm admissions through the Local Authority. If you have any questions or require assistance with your application, please contact the school office.

We participate in the Local Authority’s coordinated admissions scheme. As per the School Admissions Code, all admitting authorities must aim to inform parents of their decision within 10 school days, and it is mandatory that a decision is communicated within 15 school days.

Appeals

The Leicester Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) are responsible for handling all appeals at Learn Academies Trust. They provide an independent, professional Schools Appeals Service dedicated to ensuring that all admission appeal hearings are heard fairly, equally and within the law. More details can be found on their website and the Appeal Service Dates for 2025-2026 can be found below.
