Admissions

In-Year Applications

If you are considering making an in-year application for a place at Fareham Academy, please complete the in year admission form and we will be in contact to discuss your application.

Parents/carers are asked to consider carefully when making an application for an in-year place in Years 10 or 11; in many cases, a change of school can be unsettling because it may not be possible to offer an exact match for the GCSE subject choices being followed in the pupil’s current school. Where a timetable can be constructed following the same subject choices, since schools organise their learning independently, it may be that topics and assessments are taken in a different order requiring the pupil to catch up on assessments and learning already covered.

If you are making an application for a place in Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9, it is important, as part of your application, you state which Modern Foreign Language your child has been studying to determine the classes that your child can be placed into.

If there is no place available at the time of your application in a class group studying your child’s current language, we would discuss the application carefully to explore options.

Fareham Academy is its own Admissions Authority and is responsible for all aspects of the admissions process for in-year applications.

Pupils with Special Educational Needs/Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP)

Parents seeking in-year changes of placement for children with an EHCP should not approach other schools directly. Please contact e.winter@fareham-academy.co.uk to make such a request through the Annual Review process.

Year 6 Admissions

If you do decide to enrol with us, we will invite your child to come and experience a week at Fareham Academy before they start in September.

Admission Appeals for Year 7

If you apply for a place for your child at Fareham Academy but are not offered a place, parents and carers are invited to make a request in writing to the school for their child to be placed on the waiting list. Pupils on the waiting list are ranked in order according to the school’s oversubscription criteria. Once the waiting list has been established, parents and carers can contact the school or Hampshire Admissions Team to find out their child’s current position on the list. Any places that become available will be allocated according to the oversubscription criteria of the Admissions Policy with no account being taken of the length of time on the waiting list or any priority order expressed as part of the main admission round application.
