JCSC ADMISSIONS

Last updated: 27/11/2025

Our school serves the areas of Amble, Acklington, Broomhill, Hadston, Red Row, Warkworth and Widdrington.

Children residents in our area are given first choice of places at our school. If parents from outside of the area express a preference for our school, their children will be admitted if we have vacancies in the desired year group. If the year group is over-subscribed parents can appeal to the school to have their child admitted.

The school accepts all children and does not discriminate on the grounds of special educational needs, disabilities, gender, faith or ethnic group.

As a maintained school, the Local Authority manages the admissions. Further information on the process, documentation to complete and contact details for finding out more about the local authority’s admission and appeal arrangements are available on the School Admissions page of the Northumberland County Council website.

If you need to contact the Northumberland County council to find out about school admission arrangements, you can email them: schooladmissions@northumberland.gov.uk

Joining JCSC in Year 7

Pupils who are in Year 6 at local Northumberland primary schools are welcome to join JCSC in Year 7 by applying via the portal here. The NCC portal for applying for High School/ Secondary School places in Northumberland opens every September for intake the following September.

Places will be allocated in-line with national offers day (March) and you will be contacted by our school shortly after that.

We’re thrilled to welcome new families to our growing school community.

We have open evenings at school each year for prospective parents and pupils which we encourage you to attend. These events give an insight in to what our school has to offer your child and is an opportunity to meet our friendly staff team.

Post-16 at JCSC

All young people are now required to stay in education, employment or training until they are 18.

Many of our pupils choose to follow courses in JCSC Sixth Form, some move to colleges or take up apprenticeships and/or training schemes. Students are given independent advice and guidance to help them to make these decisions.

If you are interested in joining our Sixth Form please see our dedicated web pages here.

If you have any further questions about Sixth Form at JCSC, please email our Head of Sixth Form, Mr James Moore: jmoore01@jcsc.co.uk.
