APPLYING FOR A PLACE AT JUDGEMEADOW

In Leicester, an application for a place at a secondary school must be made to the local authority.

For any Year 7 admission queries (including application forms) please click here to visit Leicester City Council's school admissions page or telephone 0116 454 1009. If your child wishes to transfer to Judgemeadow please click here to visit the Leicester City Council in-year admissions page.

We welcome applications from students across the city and county, indeed we have a significant number of applications from outside the catchment area. It is important to stress that whilst Judgemeadow is an academy, we have commissioned Leicester City Council to manage and administer the application and appeals process.
