Admissions and Appeals

All parents of students attending local primary schools will be given the opportunity to express a preferred choice of high school during the autumn term. The school has excellent links with local primary schools to enable students to become familiar with the high school and its staff. Staff from George Stephenson High School regularly visit the primary schools, and students from the primary schools will have many opportunities to visit our school and will undertake a wide range of transition activities in the high school.

Parents will be invited to school for an Open Evening, and we also hold regular open morning and afternoons throughout the year. All parents will be invited to attend a one to one appointment with a member of the Leadership Team in July to help prepare their child for the transition to our school. Any parent who wishes to visit the school at any other time is very welcome to do so. Please contact the School Office to make an appointment. Parents outside the catchment area, who are considering applying to the school for a place for their child, are invited to contact the School Office to make arrangements for a visit.
