5 Dimensions Trust Secondary Schools offer up to 10% of places, which equates to 24 places with a PAN of 240 on the basis of aptitude for physical education or sport from September 2025, with a focus on netball or basketball.

The assessment days involve aptitude tests in agility and hand eye coordination along with adapted game scenarios. The results will be combined to give an overall score out of 100. The minimum score to be offered a place on these grounds will be 80.

Where more children achieve this score than places available, the places will be offered to the top performers as determined by their overall score.

If scores are tied for the last place, the tiebreaker will be distance from the Academy.

The assessment day for the Year 7 September 2025 intake will take place on:

08:30 -10:00 on Saturday 5 October 2024 at Shenley Brook End School

Parents will be informed of the test outcome by Friday 18 October 2024 in writing so that they can make an informed selection of schools by the national deadline on Thursday 31 October 2024. 

Those who achieved the minimum score required but were not offered a place will be held on the reserve list under criterion 6 of the over-subscription criteria.

To make an application, please click here – Sports Aptitude Application (Sept 2025)

Application Forms to be completed by midnight on Monday 30 September 2024.

"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 the School Admissions Code, published by the Department for Education (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. 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 added 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 over-subscribed 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.

In-year admissions are coordinated by the school. The application can be found below.

APPEALS FOR MID YEAR ENTRY

If you listed The Hazeley Academy as one of your preferences and were unsuccessful, you may wish to appeal against this decision to an Independent Appeal Panel.  An appeal form and parental guidelines can be obtained by emailing the Admissions Officer at the academy admissions@haz5d.com.

All forms, together with any supporting documents, should then be returned to the Clerk of the Independent Appeals Panel.

Applications for an in-year admission for September 2024 can be made from 1 June.  The Guidelines and In-Year Application Form are in the drop-down list at the bottom of the page. Once completed the form and supporting documents can be emailed to admissions@haz5d.com

Please note that initially you will receive a turn-down letter as the current Year groups are full. Once you have received the turn-down, you can place your child(ren) on the waiting lists for September 2024.

The waiting lists are ranked via the over-subscription criteria. Length of time on the waiting list is not a factor in offering a place. 

Guidance and Application Form 

The Local Governing Body of The Hazeley Academy is currently consulting on the proposed admission arrangements for September 2026.  

Proposed changes relate to Year 7 admission arrangements for September 2026, Sixth Form and In-Year admission arrangements from September 2026.

The first proposed change relates to the defined area of The Hazeley Academy.  

• Following consultation with Milton Keynes City Council, Shenley Wood is to be included in the defined area served by The Hazeley Academy.  This is due to the construction of a new housing development and Oxley Park Academy (Shenley Wood campus) which is one of The Hazeley Academy's partner primary schools.

The second proposed change relates to the Partner Primary Schools of The Hazeley Academy. 

• From September 2026, Two Mile Ash Primary School will no longer be a partner primary school to The Hazeley Academy.

The Proposed Year 7, Sixth Form and In-Year Admission Arrangements for September 2026 are available in the link below.  Alternatively, a paper copy of the document can be provided upon request. 

Any comments should be sent in writing, marked for the attention of the Clerk to the Local Governing Body, either via email to admissions@haz5d.com or by post c/o The Hazeley Academy, Emperor Drive, Hazeley, Milton Keynes, MK8 0PT.

The consultation closes at midday on Friday 15 November 2024 and written comments must be received by this time.
