Admissions after the start of September for Year 7, and at all times for other year groups, are managed by Priestlands. To apply, please complete the Priestlands School Application Form and read the accompanying guidance notes. Our Admissions Policy provides further information.  Links to both documents can be found above.

Applications for admission in the main round, which is the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, are managed by the Local Authority (Hampshire Admissions Team).

Parents of children in Year 6 will receive information about the application process from their child’s current primary school. Year 6 children attending independent schools but living in Hampshire will need to contact the Hampshire Admissions Team on 0300-555-1377. Year 6 children living outside Hampshire will need to contact their own Local Authority Admissions Team. Parents and carers are informed of places allocated by the Local Authority shortly after their list is published on 1st March 2024. Applications for places in Year 7 in September 2024 that arrive on or after 1st March will continue to be managed by the Hampshire Admissions Team until the end of August.

If your child currently attends Year 6 in a primary or junior school, you will need to make an application for admission to Year 7 in a secondary school, to start in September 2024.

In Hampshire residents should apply online (see details below).  If you do not wish to apply online, paper forms will be available from your child's primary school or the County Admissions Team on 0300-555-1377.  Completed forms should be returned to your child's primary school or directly to the County Admissions Team at the address provided on the form.  If you need help applying, please visit your child's primary school or call the Admissions Team. If you are resident outside Hampshire, you will need to apply for a place through your own Local Authority.
