Getting a place

Open to all. There is no entrance test. As a Muslim school it may put families of that faith first. Check the school's own admissions rules.

Each council publishes its own figures on how many families applied and how far away the last child to get a place lived. We are adding councils one at a time. If you have a link to Bradford council's admissions booklet, send it to us.
