School Admission Arrangements for 2020/21
To comply with the School Admissions Code (2014) please find below Stockton-On-Tees school admissions arrangements for all Community and Voluntary Controlled primary and secondary schools for entry in September 2020.
The Code states that the Local Authority (LA) as the 'admission authority' must determine its arrangements annually and this is explained in these documents:
The admission arrangements for those schools within borough that are not community or voluntary controlled schools are determined by their respective governing bodies or academy trust.
Copies of the determined admission arrangements for voluntary aided, foundation, trust schools, academies and free schools are available from the individual schools.
Any person or body who considers that any maintained school or academy's arrangements are unlawful, or not in compliance with the code or relevant law relating to admissions, can make an objection to the office of the schools adjudicator.
Further information on how to make an objection can be obtained from the office of the schools adjudicator:

Other Y10 education opportunities
To all parents/carers of children who are due to move into Year 10 in September 2020, the information below is to advise you of other opportunities for education starting in Y10 available across the North East & North Yorkshire area, which you may not be aware of. These schools have atypical admission ages so take pupils at a different age to typical 11-18 secondary schools. This does not mean that you are required to move your child from their existing school if this is still the best option for them.
Listed are Schools within a ‘Reasonable travelling Distance’, which you may wish to look into and consider whether your child would want to apply for a place in September.
You should also look at the GCSE curriculum at your child’s current school, to help consider what the best option is for the next two years of your child’s education.
- University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are set up by universities and businesses and specialise in one or two technical subjects. At GCSE they offer a similar curriculum to a typical 11-18 secondary school, including the basics of English and Maths, as well as their specialist subject.
- Studio Schools are similar to UTCs in that they have employer involvement in the curriculum and focus on developing the skills needed for employment, involving personal coaching and work experience, alongside a similar curriculum to a typical 11-18 secondary.
All schools have a statutory duty to secure impartial careers guidance for all Year 8 to Year 13 students to inspire young people to fulfill their potential and to make them aware of all opportunities open to them. We strongly recommend that your child discuss their options with a Careers Adviser in their current school or college.
If you decide that you would like to know more information or to apply for a place at any of these schools for your child, we suggest you contact them directly.
