Applications for admission to Year 7

Applications to Year 7 at Orchard Park High School are co-ordinated by the London Borough of Croydon. 

Applications for admission to Year 7 at Orchard Park High School must be made in October of the year before admission to the child’s home local authority on their Common Application Form, naming Orchard Park High School as a preference on the form.

Applications must be made by the parent. Parent refers to the person with ‘parental responsibility’ for the child or the child’s designated carer. Where the applicant is not the natural birth parent, this should be indicated on the application form.

Applications may be made online for Year 7 places here where comprehensive information about the admissions and application process is available. Applications for secondary school places must be made no later than 31 October. 

If you are resident outside the London Borough of Croydon, you should apply through your own local authority.
