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 admissions criteria and appeals process. Our current published admissions number (PAN) is 180 in each year group.
Each year the school arranges an Open Evening for prospective students and their parents/carers. This usually takes place towards the end of September.
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.
To apply for a place from another secondary school you must make an in-year transfer request through the local authority: Secondary Transfers - Tameside MBC
