In-year admissions (Years 7 to 11)
If you wish to move your child from another secondary school within Liverpool to Dixons Broadgreen, please speak to your child's current school to instigate an in-year transfer. Your child’s school will then contact the academy to see if a place is available and advise you of the outcome.
If you are new to the city, your child attends a school in another local authority, or your child is returning from home education, please apply via Liverpool City Council Admissions department website or contact them on 0151 233 3006.
Where a place is available, we will look at the waiting list and children will be prioritised in accordance with the oversubscription criteria stated in the Admissions and Appeals Policy
If there is no place available, then children will be placed onto a waiting list for that academic year. Parents will need to re-apply in early July to keep their children on the waiting list for the next academic year.
Year 7 – September
Year 7 places will be offered, via the local authorities, on 1 March. Children who cannot be offered a place, due to there being more applications than there are places, will automatically remain on the waiting list until 31 December.

In-Year appeals
In-Year appeals are for children transferring between schools mid-year. You can make a formal appeal to an independent appeal panel, for any school that you have applied for where admission has been refused. This is a legal process and places are not ‘reserved’ for appeal panels to offer.
In-year appeals are usually heard within 30 school days of receipt of the appeal form. Before you can make an appeal you must first have applied to the academy for a place. Once you have received a letter advising you that a place cannot be offered, you can then proceed to make an appeal for the academy if you wish to.
The academy can only proceed to the appeals stage if the year group is full. Places are not ‘reserved’ for those whose appeals are upheld, so any upheld appeal will result in the year group being over the admission number.
