Please see below our In-Year Application Form for use if you are applying for a place at the school outside of the normal Reception, Year 7 and Year 12 admissions cycle.

Please refer to our Admissions Policy below which will provide you with details of our application process and over-subscription criteria. 

To apply for a place in the school, parents must complete the In-Year Application Form.  On completion of the Form, the application will be considered against the Published Admissions Number for the Year group. 

You will receive notification of the outcome of your application by email within 10 school days.  If your application is unsuccessful, your child will be added to the waiting list, if this is requested on your application, and you will be given details of how to appeal the non-allocation of a place with an independent Appeal Panel should you wish to do so.  Should you decide to make an appeal guidance on this can be found on the Admissions page of our website. 

Once you have received confirmation that your child is on the waiting list, they will remain on the list until 30^th June 2023 without you being required to provide any further information to us.  If a place becomes available and your child is selected from the waiting list, we will contact you immediately by email in the first instance to offer the place. 

Applications for the new waiting list for 2023-2024 will be processed from 1^st July 2023.  If you wish your child to remain on the waiting list for the next academic year, you must ensure that a new application is made, as the waiting list starts afresh at this point and details are not rolled over from the previous year.    

Places can become available at any point during the academic year, as this is dependent upon a change of circumstances for a student currently at the school.  As such it is very difficult to predict if or when this will happen.  When a place does become available the oversubscription criteria will be applied as described in the Admissions Policy. 

If you have any queries in relation to the In-Year Application process, please contact Mrs N Adams, Director of Education on admissions@thedustonschool.org
