Other Admissions to the Academy

The Academy maintains waiting lists for all years for which it currently has students. When a vacancy arises it is filled as far as possible on the same criteria as for other admissions. The Academy will attempt to replace students with those of similar bands, and will give preference to students living close to the Academy.

If you wish to put your child's name on a waiting list for the Academy you must write to the Principal, Martyn Coles, stating your reasons for requesting a transfer. You must also include:

• The most recent copy of the child's report from their current school.
• A photocopy of the child's birth certificate or passport page showing date of birth.
• Any documentation you wish to provide to support your request for a place at the Academy.

At the end of every Academic year the waiting list is cleared. If you wish your child to remain on the waiting list for a further year you should write a letter, enclosing the most recent copy of the child's report from their current school.

You must ensure that your child is receiving an adequate and legal education. If your child does not currently have a secondary school place, you must contact Southwark Education Department on 020 7525 5050 to arrange their education.
