Please click here to book your place; once you have submitted this there is nothing further you need to do or bring on the day.
Please note that no late entry is possible to the Principal's talks or Director of Sixth Form's talks, if you miss the start, please pop in to the next one.
We are fortunate to be very oversubscribed with an average of 850 applications for 120 places each year, therefore the open events in October are the only opportunity to see the school; we are not able to provide private tours.
If you have any queries, big or small, please contact our Admissions Manager Ms Samson, admissions@arkbolingbrokeacademy.org
