Admission Procedures for Year 7
Admissions into Tuxford School for Year 7 are decided by the LEA. The school itself has no influence over who is admitted into Year 7 but it can exercise discretion over secondary transfers into older year groups - providing that there are vacancies.
The LEA applies very strict criteria in allowing only 210 pupils into Year 7. It imposes this restriction in the interests of using the educational resources of Bassetlaw district (buildings and staff) fully. Unfortunately, this means that some parents wishing to send their children to Tuxford are disappointed.
Places in secondary schools are allocated using the criteria reproduced in the second part of this page. Parents apply for places in Tuxford via the county council's North Base. Enquiries and applications are made by writing to:
School Admissions Office,
Notts. C.C. Community Services,
Meadow House,
Littleworth,
Mansfield,
Notts. NG18 2TA
Alternatively, you can phone 01623 433433.
