Admissions Over Pan - Academic Year

Ark Walworth Academy is pleased to announce we have capacity to admit an additional 30 students to the Year 7 roll in the academic year. The Local Governing Body and the Ark network support the school in its endeavours to meet the demands of the local populace and the school will therefore admit above its Published Admissions Number (PAN) a total of 210 students.

• Priority is given to students with statements of special educational needs. The remaining places are then offered in the following order of priority:
• Looked After Children and all previously Looked After Children;
• Children of staff at the school where there is a demonstrable skill shortage;
• Children who have a sibling who already attends the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission (for this purpose “sibling” means a whole, half or step-brother or step-sister or an adopted child resident at the same address);

In-year admissions

Does your child need to join us outside of the usual September start date? That's not a problem - read on to find out how in-year admissions work.

An in-year admission is when you apply to a school outside the normal admissions round for pupils starting in September. You would normally make an in-year application if you have recently moved, you have arrived from another country or you want to transfer your child from another school.

Applications made to any year group outside the main admissions round should be made directly to the local authority.

You will hear the outcome of your application within 15 school days.
