Admissions

Admission Arrangements for September 2022

Halton Borough Council is responsible for the administration of the admissions process. Parents and Carers must complete a preference form online at www.halton.gov.uk/schooladmissions, which will issue an e-receipt email to you.

Online applicants can login to view the outcome of their application on Tues 1st March 2022. Offer letters will be posted to applicants who submit a paper preference form on Tues 1st March 2022. Don’t leave it too late – you may miss out on the school place you want if you apply late. The deadline is Sunday 31st October 2021.

Parents and Carers of pupils from other local authorities should complete their own local authority form, but may include Halton schools as preferences on their form.

Useful Information

The school understands that parents and carers may have a number of questions regarding the process. The following points of information may assist you:

  • In September 2022 there will be one intake of 320 pupils into Wade Deacon.
  • Parents and Carers must complete the preference form regardless of circumstances or home address if they wish to apply for a place at Wade Deacon.
  • All applications must be submitted no later than Sunday 31st October 2021.
  • If the school is oversubscribed, applicants will then be allocated a place on the following criteria:
  1. Looked after children and children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
  2. Distance: pupils living nearest to the school measured using an Ordnance Survey address point system which measures straight line distances in metres from the point of the place of permanent residence of the pupil to the address point of the school. As a reference point for you, for September 2021, the distance was set at 1605.40 metres measured from the centre of the school in a straight line in any direction. This may be subject to change for the September 2022 intake.

Waiting Lists

The LA maintains a waiting list for year 7 up to the end of the autumn term in the year of transfer. For all other year groups we do not hold formal waiting lists (including year 7 from Spring). During each term we will note any formal applications that may be submitted in that term should a vacancy arise, however these will be archived at the end of each term.
