In Year Admissions
For students applying to Wykham Park Academy during the school year e.g. transferring from another school or moving to the area
- Please complete our online In Year Application Form
- If you would prefer a printable version that you can print off and post to us click here.
- If the academy has spaces in the year group your child will be placed in, you will be invited in for a meeting. It is not a legal requirement that you or your child attend this meeting but we find that it does help them to make a smooth start to their new school.
- Your child will sit a test to help determine which groups they will be assigned to (this does not affect their place on our roll but helps us to make sure they get the best educational provision as soon as they start).
If you have any questions before or during the in-year admission process, please contact LPalmer@Wykhampark-aspirations.org
