How to apply

As a non-selective school we do not subscribe to the Wandsworth Test, nor are there any other exams for entrance.
Applications can be submitted through the Wandsworth Council website and open on 1st September of your child's Year 6 year with a deadline of 31st October.
Parents will then notified by Wandsworth Council on 1st of March if their application is successful.

Open days
We hold two open events in early October every year before the application deadline. You are very welcome to come along with your child to view our school building, meet our wonderful staff and current pupils, and hear talks given by our Principal and Director of Sixth Form which will include all aspects related to admissions.
We would love to see you and your children at our upcoming open events in October 2023. There is no need to book, but please note that due to the layout of the room there will be no late admission possible to the Principal's talks or Director of Sixth Form's talks.
Thursday 5th October 2023 5:15-7:15pm
Principal's talks at 5:15pm, 5:45pm and 6:30pm
Saturday 14th October 2023 9:30am-12:30pm
Principal's talks at 9:30am and 10:45am
Director of Sixth Form talks 10:15am and 11:30am
We are fortunate to be very oversubscribed with an average of 850 applications for 120 places, therefore the open events above are the only opportunity to see the school; we are not able to provide private tours.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school. If you have any queries, big or small, please contact our Admissions Manager Ms Samson, admissions@arkbolingbrokeacademy.org
