We look forward to welcoming new students to Brakenhale at any point in the academic year.  We are a school where students wear their uniform with pride, they behave extremely well and where teachers teach lessons so that students can succeed with their learning.

We appreciate that moving to a new school is a huge adjustment for students and their families.  Please find more information in our booklet below and if you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.  We look forward to meeting you and working together.

To apply for a place at Brakenhale School other than at the specified dates of entry, parents should complete the Greenshaw In-Year Admission Form which can be found at the bottom of the page. The pdf In-Year Admission Form should be downloaded and completed electronically (fill in and save amended pdf) or by hand, and returned directly to the school either by email to admissions@brakenhale.co.uk, in person or by post. 

Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will maintain a waiting list according to the oversubscription criteria detailed in the school’s admission arrangements without regard to the date the application was received or when a child’s name was added to the waiting list.

Positions on waiting lists may go down as well as up. This is because other children might be added to the waiting list who have a greater priority for a place against the school’s admission criteria; for example, when new families move into the area or when other families who had not previously named Brakenhale School as a preference, ask to go on the waiting list after the initial allocations date.
