Admissions Information

Although as an Academy, Nidderdale High School (NHS) has the ability to set its own admissions policy, we choose to follow the criteria set out by North Yorkshire Council who manage this process and subsequent appeals. The admission arrangements are compliant with the School Admissions Code 2021, the School Admissions Appeals Code and relevant human rights and equalities legislation.   Any complaints about admission arrangements are dealt with by the School’s Adjudicator.

Admission arrangements

NHS has an agreed admission number of 85 students. NHS will accordingly admit 85 students in the relevant age group each year if sufficient applications are received.  NHS may set a higher admission number as its Published Admission Number for any specific year. Before setting an admission number higher than its agreed admission number, NHS will inform North Yorkshire Local Authority and reference this change on the school’s website. Students will not be admitted above the Published Admission Number unless in exceptional circumstances.

Full details including the process of application for all students can be found in the relevant academic year Admissions Policy below.
