Admissions
Welcome to our Admissions Information page. As our own Admission Authority, the Board of Trustees is responsible for setting and applying the school’s admission arrangements. All applications are processed in line with our published policies and statutory guidance
In‑Year Admissions
If you wish to apply for a place during the school year, this is known as an In‑Year Admission.
How to Apply
Parents and carers should complete the Gloucestershire County Council In‑Year Application Form
Applying for a school place during the school year
Completed forms should be emailed directly to the school: principal@wyedeanschool.com
We aim to respond to all In‑Year applications within 10 school days.
If You Are Offered a Place
If your application is successful, you will receive a written offer from the school. The email will include:
- confirmation of the place offered within 10 school days (and no later than 15)
- the date by which you must accept or decline the offer,
- any next steps required (such as completing admission forms or arranging a start date).

If Your Application Is Unsuccessful
As our own Admission Authority, the Board of Trustees is responsible for making decisions on applications. If we are unable to offer a place, you will receive a written refusal explaining the reason(s) why.
Your Right to Appeal
If your child is refused a place, you have the legal right to appeal the decision to an Independent Appeals Panel.
The school is responsible for:
- informing you of your right to appeal,
- providing details of how to submit an appeal,
- ensuring the appeal is arranged in line with the School Admissions Appeals Code.
Appeals are completely independent of the school and the Board of Trustees. The panel will consider your case and the school’s case before making a final decision.
School Admissions Code
All admission authorities must comply with the statutory School Admissions Code (2021). School Admissions Code – GOV.UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-admissions-code
