The Ackworth admissions process is designed to ensure that the young person concerned would benefit from the opportunities of an Ackworth education.
An offer of a place at Ackworth depends on there being a vacancy in the relevant year group, the completion of the School’s own entrance examinations and a reference from the pupil’s previous school.
In the case of entry into the Sixth Form, conditional offers are made on the basis of a reference from the pupil’s current school and the achievement of appropriate grades at GCSE or equivalent.
Following the offer of a place by the School, parents should return the acceptance form and include a £400 acceptance fee which secures the place.
