In Year Admissions into Years 7 – 11

For students who wish to join The Archbishop’s School after the start of the school year, you will need to make an in year admission application. To do this, please complete the KCC In Year Application Form below and return to the school by email or post.

Upon receipt of a completed in year casual admission application, a place will be offered if there is a space available and there are no students on our waiting list.

If there is no space available the child will be placed on our waiting list and if a space becomes available our oversubscription criteria will be applied to the applicants in the relevant year group on the waiting list to determine who will be offered a place.
