The Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA ) gives you the right to access recorded information held by public sector organisations. Anyone can request information – there are no restrictions on your age, nationality or where you live.  Please note for schools, the standard time limit for responding is 20 school days, or 60 working days if this is shorter. Working day means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or public holidays and bank holidays; this may or may not be the same as the days you are open for business or staff are in work.

Below is information relating to admissions that has been requested and released and is therefore available in the public domain.

Families must be careful NOT to make causal inferences nor assert predictive value from the data published, as this is likely to lead to misguided interpretations.
 

Our decision to publish detailed admissions data reflects a simple but important principle: we believe that a school should hold itself to the highest standards of fairness and openness. Our vision is rooted in equal opportunity, and genuine equality begins with an honest understanding of where inequities and under-representation exist. By sharing this information publicly, we are choosing to confront those challenges directly rather than allowing them to remain hidden.

The data we are releasing does not yet reflect the school we aspire to be. That is precisely why we are making it visible. Transparency creates accountability, and accountability drives improvement. We invite you to return next year and see the progress we are committed to making as our policies and processes evolve to better serve all parts of our community.

We take our responsibilities to local families seriously. Clear information helps reduce suspicion and misinformation, and it empowers parents to make informed decisions about their children’s education. Openness strengthens trust, and trust is essential for a school that aims to serve its community with integrity.

By taking this step, we also hope to encourage a wider conversation across the grammar school sector. Transparent data can help all of us reflect more deeply on the purpose and processes of selective education. If our decision prompts other schools to follow suit, it will contribute to a more constructive, evidence‑based dialogue about how grammar school admissions can be fairer and more inclusive.

This is the beginning of a long‑term commitment. Transparency is not a one‑off gesture; it is a promise to keep striving for a system that offers every local child a fair chance to succeed.
