Secondary School Applications
The application round for secondary school places will open from 12 September 2025 onward and the deadline to apply is 31 October 2025. Applications should be made online Starting secondary school | North Yorkshire Council.

Please be aware that the home to school transport eligibility criteria changed from 1st September 2024. One of the main changes is that transport is now provided to the nearest school to a home address, subject to the statutory walking distance. This will impact some children where the catchment school for admissions purposes is not the nearest school. To help parents identify the nearest schools to their home address there is a distance calculator available on the website.

The Home to School Travel Policy and a link to the distance calculator can be found on the North Yorkshire website

A message from Mrs Mann
Welcome back, everyone – and a very warm welcome to all our new families joining us this year! We hope you've all had a restful (and hopefully sunshine-filled!) summer. The school has been far too quiet without the sound of laughter, and learning.

We’re so excited to see familiar faces back in the playground and to meet our new pupils – we can’t wait to get to know you all. This year promises to be full of new adventures, discoveries, and probably a few muddy shoes along the way. Let’s make it a great one together!
