Admissions
For September admission into Year 7 all parents receive formal letters from their local Education Authority at the beginning of the previous September, asking them to express a preference for secondary school. This includes parents living outside Cheshire, who should apply to the school through their home Authority. The final date for applications is the end of October. The Authority will allocate places at Knutsford High School based on the criteria published on their website and in their booklet, ‘Guidance for Parents and Carers.’
Late applications will be considered only if there is room at the school. The admission limit currently stands at 260. Every year the school receives more than this number of enquiries for places, and this means that the LA may initially place students on a waiting list. If this is the case, parents are advised to contact the LA to discuss the matter, as places usually become available for most of these students during the admissions process.
IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS (APPLICATIONS OUTSIDE THE NORMAL ADMISSIONS ROUND)
With effect from September 2010 and in accordance with The School Admissions (Co-ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2008, the Local Authority will be responsible for coordinating all ‘in year’ applications, i.e. admissions outside the normal round whether in-year or at the start of a school year which is not a normal point of entry to the school i.e. into any year group (Year 7-Year 11). As such, parents are advised to contact the LA as well as the school about vacancies and the school will continue to show prospective parents around. However, the school will not be able to admit students unless advised by the LA.
