Year 7 entry: September 2025
Applications for places at Bolingbroke Academy will be made in accordance with Wandsworth Council's co-ordinated admission arrangements, and places are only ever offered in accordance with our admissions policy which can be viewed here.
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 opened on 1st September 2024 with a deadline of 31st October 2024. If you do not live in Wandsworth you can still apply via the local authority of your home address.
Parents will then notified by Wandsworth/their local authority on Monday 3rd March 2025 if their application is successful.

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.
