Admissions

We’d love to welcome you and your family to York High School. 

York High School is part of Excel Learning Trust who acts as our Admission Authority. The Trust participates in the Local Authority’s Co-ordinated Scheme for admissions and in-year admissions. More information on the admissions process, including appeals and oversubscription criteria can be found in the Local Authority’s guide for parents which can be downloaded here

If parents/carers wish to apply for a school place, applications can be made via the ParentPortal. The Local Authority will confirm the outcome of the application in writing within 15 school days. If the application is refused, the Local Authority will advise on the statutory appeal procedure. Details of the Co-ordinated Admission Scheme and how in-year applications are managed is available here 

In addition to the formal open evening and other events, parents are always welcome to make an appointment to visit us during the school day and to meet the Headteacher and other key members of staff.

Access to our Admissions Policy is available on our Trust’s site here.
