In year admissions

In year admissions

In-year admissions will be through the coordinated process by Cambridgeshire County Council. 

Parents can apply for admission at any time outside of the normal admission round. This is also known as admission ‘outside the normal admission round’. For the 2027/28 Academic Year, Year 7 will be the only year open for in-year admission.

Where there are multiple applicants for a year group, and the academy has determined that there are fewer places available than the number of applications, the oversubscription criteria will be applied to determine which of the children are offered a place.

Waiting list

AWCA will maintain a clear, fair and objective waiting list for children entering Year 7 until 31st December. Each added child will require the list to be ranked again in line with the oversubscription criteria outlined in section 6.  Where places become available, they will be allocated to children in accordance with their rankings on the list.  

Priority will not be given to children based on the date their application was received, or when their name was added to the list. 

Under the School Admissions Code, looked-after children, previously looked-after children, and those allocated a place at the academy in accordance with a Fair Access Protocol (see section 12) must take precedence over those on the waiting list.
