Admissions

If you have made an application for a Year 7 place in September 2025, notification of school allocation will be made by your home local authority on National Offer Day Friday 3rd March 2025.

Further information on applying to The Nottingham Emmanuel School and a timeline of the admissions arrangements for 2025-2026 is available below.

Please note the school has different admission numbers for other year groups which have been determined by the operational capacity of the Academy. This operational capacity is decided after taking into account the following:

• Class sizes, especially in option groups which are full and adding additional students would prejudice the provision of education for existing students.

• Adding additional students would require additional teaching hours which would mean recruiting new teachers, which has not been financially planned for in the current curriculum.

Year 7 –   180
Year 8 –   180
Year 9 –   180
Year 10 – 180
Year 11 – 180

Please complete this form for In-Year admissions. Notes of guidance to help you complete this are provided on the form. They should be read together with the Admission Arrangements. Applications for In-Year admissions should be made directly to the academy.

Please note we can only accept applications from students with a current UK address. If you are not currently residing in the UK please do not apply until you have arrived.

Applications are only valid for the Academic Year you apply in. If you do not gain a place at Nottingham Emmanuel School within this timeframe and wish to remain on the waiting list for the next Academic Year, a further application will need to be completed at the start of the next academic year.

4. Should I reject the offer if I plan to appeal?
   No. The academy and the local authority strongly recommend accepting the place offered, even if you are appealing. This ensures you will have a school place while the appeal process is ongoing.
