Admissions

In Year Admissions

If you are already in a Secondary school but are considering an in-year admission please contact Mrs Russell in the first instance, who will be able to guide you through the admissions process.   Applicants will be considered in line with the determined Admission Policy.  Where the School has no spaces available, because the admission of another child would prejudice the efficient education of others at the School or would prejudice the efficient use of resources, the application will be refused and a right of appeal, as set out below will arise.

To apply for an in year place please click here. Once completed, email to admissions@sarumacademy.org or post to, the School Admissions Team, Sarum Academy, Westwood Road, Salisbury, SP2 9HS.

The Trust aims to respond to in year admission requests within 10 school days (maximum time to respond is 15 school days).

Year 7 Admission

If you are considering applying for a Year 7 place for your child, at Sarum Academy, we welcome tours at any time of the academic year, during the school day - whatever day you visit you will always see great teaching and great people which combine to achieve great outcomes for our students.

Wiltshire Council is responsible for coordinating and administering main round admissions. 

Parents are required to rank three schools in order of preference.  Applications are then matched with schools, according to a child's eligibility for place, rather than by parental preference.  Second or third choice applications may rank higher than first-choice applications and some first-choice applications will be turned down. 

To apply for a year 7 place at Sarum Academy please click here: https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/article/1657/Apply-for-a-school-place (alternatively a hard copy form is available from the school office).

Vulnerable Child Applications

If you wish your application for a school place to be considered against the ‘Vulnerable Child’ criteria please ensure you submit all related evidence by the application deadline (31st October).  Any evidence received after this date will not be considered.  Further information can be found in the relevant year’s Admission Arrangements.
