Year 6 to Year 7 Admissions

Gladesmore Community School is a popular school and receives more applications than there are places available each year. Places are allocated in accordance with Haringey Council’s admissions policy.

Once pupils have been offered and allocated a place at Gladesmore, we contact their families directly to gather the information needed to support their transition from primary to secondary school and help ensure they have a positive start.

In-Year Admissions

Parents and carers who wish to apply for a place at Gladesmore Community School for a child who is already in secondary education should submit an application through Haringey Council’s school admissions website.

Places may not always be available, and applications may be added to a waiting list in accordance with the council’s admissions arrangements.

Admissions for Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Gladesmore Community School welcomes applications from pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We encourage parents and carers to read our SEND Information Report and SEND Policy before applying. These documents explain the support available at the school and can help families consider whether our provision is suitable for their child.

Both documents are available in the Policies and Documents section of our website.

The application process depends on whether your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

• If your child has an EHCP: Please contact Haringey Council’s Special Educational Needs (SEN) team. The team will consult with Gladesmore Community School as part of the process of considering a suitable school placement.
• If your child has SEND but does not have an EHCP: Please apply through Haringey Council’s school admissions website. We recommend contacting the school’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) before applying to discuss your child’s needs and the support they may require.
