We’d love to welcome you and your family to York High School.
York High School is part of Excel Learning Trust who acts as our Admission Authority. The Trust participates in the Local Authority’s Co-ordinated Scheme for admissions and in-year admissions. More information on the admissions process, including appeals and oversubscription criteria can be found in the Local Authority’s guide for parents which can be downloaded here
If parents/carers wish to apply for a school place, applications can be made via the ParentPortal. The Local Authority will confirm the outcome of the application in writing within 15 school days. If the application is refused, the Local Authority will advise on the statutory appeal procedure. Details of the Co-ordinated Admission Scheme and how in-year applications are managed is available here
In addition to the formal open evening and other events, parents are always welcome to make an appointment to visit us during the school day and to meet the Principal and other key members of staff.
Access to our Admissions Policy is available on our Trust’s site here.
The Co-ordinated Admission Consultation for admissions in 2026-2027 is open until 18 November 2024.
The consultation includes the admission policies and planned number of places available at each school in the year(s) of entry 2026-2027. All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 during the consultation period.
