Admissions at AET

Academies Enterprise Trust is the admission authority for all schools in the Trust. This means the Trust is responsible for setting the admission arrangements for each of its schools. Each school has its own admission policy and these can be found on the individual school's website.


Applications to start in Reception are usually made between November and January, and to start in Year 7 in September and October. If you would like to make an application for Reception or Year 7, you will need to apply through your Local Authority. If you wish to make an application for any other year group, contact the school you are interested in directly who will be able to advise on their availability and how to apply.


Special academies have different admission arrangements as all children are admitted on the basis of an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). If your child has an EHCP, speak to your child's SEN Officer if you wish for them to attend an AET school.
