The admissions policies, published admission numbers and related documents for schools in the City of York area advise how admissions applications and decisions will be made for the 2021-2022 school year.
Some documents will apply to more than one school, and where this is the case, we clearly state this.
Coordinated Admissions Schemes
There are 3 Coordinated Admissions Schemes.
Each Scheme explains how the Local Authority will coordinate applications for entry into Reception, Year 3 and Year 7 for all schools (including key dates on coordinating with other local authorities):
- Primary and Infant Schools for Reception - 2021-2022 entry
- Junior Schools for Year 3 - 2021-2022 entry
- Secondary Schools for Year 7 - 2021-2022 entry
Admissions policies
Community and Voluntary Controlled schools
These admissions policies apply to Community and Voluntary Controlled (CVC) schools within the City of York area (that is, where the City of York Council is the admissions authority):
- Primary and Infant Schools for Reception - 2021-2022 entry
- Secondary Schools for Year 7 - 2021-2022 entry
Note: A policy is not required for Year 3 this year, as we don't currently have any CVC junior schools.

Some schools have their own admissions policy, and some share a policy - for example, non-church schools within the same Academy trust (it's apparent from each policy which school(s) are covered).
Note: Recently converted academies may not be listed here, as they'll be covered by the Community and Voluntary Controlled policy in place before they became an academy.
