In-Year Admissions Arrangements for Entry to The Hazeley Academy for Years 7-11
"In year admissions" refers to applicants transferring at any time after the normal age of transfer at the end of primary school. For the purpose of admissions, The Hazeley Academy follows the guidance and regulations detailed in School Admissions Code, published by the DfE. As required under the School Admissions Code, the school subscribes to the Local Authority's (LA) Fair Access Policy.
The Hazeley Academy maintains a waiting list throughout the academic year. The waiting list will be ranked in accordance with the over-subscription criteria and length of time on the list will not be a factor in offering a place. This means that children will move up and down the list as other children are or removed. Being on the waiting list does not guarantee a place at the academy. Waiting lists close at the end of the academic year.
Parents should be aware that The Hazeley Academy is a heavily oversubscribed school with more applicants than places available and that every year many parents are unsuccessful in their application for a place.
Applications will be considered strictly in accordance with the school's stated admissions policy. The admissions criteria will apply as appropriate for each relevant year group.
