The Admissions Process

A lot of you will be wondering about our admissions process, so Zoe has put together this flow chart of how it works, although basic it gives you an idea of the structure of the process. You will also find a more comprehensive overview in the policy section of the school website in the Admissions policy.

We do accept Parent Referrals and many of our current pupils start as Parental Referrals. The process is the same for Parental Referrals the main difference being that rather than consulting/communicating with the Local Authority we are working directly with the family.

We do prioritise Local Authority Referrals which means that there is a substantial wait for Parent Referrals to be evaluated. Due to the amount of variables in the process it is impossible to give families a waiting time for their referral to be processed and we understand how frustrating this is. We encourage all families to seek a Local Authority referral.

If you have any initial questions about our referrals process and admission don't hesitate in contacting us via the referrals e-mail, or contacting Zoe Thomson on her e-mail: Zoe.Thomson@highgrangeschool.co.uk or phoning the school and asking for a quick chat on: 01332 412 777
