Admission to Year 7 is coordinated through the local authority’s secondary school admissions process. Parents and carers should complete the Common Application Form and list St Cuthbert Mayne as their preferred school. As places are often highly sought after, families are encouraged to apply by the published deadline.

As a joint Catholic and Church of England school, St Cuthbert Mayne offers a faith-based admissions route for families wishing to apply on the grounds of religious commitment. Applicants seeking consideration under the school’s faith criteria should also complete a Supplementary Information Form, which may require confirmation from a parish priest or minister. This enables applications to be considered in accordance with the school’s published admissions policy.

To apply to St Cuthbert Mayne to join Year 7 at the start of the next academic year, please visit the local authority admissions and apply by 31st October 2026:

If you are applying for a place based on faith criteria you will need to download and complete the Supplementary Information Form at the bottom of this page. This should be completed by your Parish Priest or Minister and returned to our Admissions Officer by 31st October.

When do I find out if my application has been successful?

You will be notified of the outcome of your application on National Allocation Day which is 1st March 2027.
