The school follows the Local Authority policy for admissions for 11-16 students. For further information on Secondary admissions in Tameside, please visit the Tameside Council website www.tameside.gov.uk/schools/admissions, where you will find links to useful information, including the appeals process.

Each year the school arranges an Open Evening for prospective students and their parents/carers.

Once we know which students are due to attend there are a series of events and meetings from May onwards to ease the transfer from primary school. These include: a New Intake evening for parents/carers and a taster day at the school when students will sample a range of lessons with the tutor group to which they will belong in September. In addition key staff visit the main primary schools to discuss transfer information with appropriate teachers.
