Admissions
Admission at the Primary Transition Stage
The Governing Body has responsibility for admissions to King James’s School.
Currently there are officially 186 places in every year group, though in agreement with the LA, we have taken up to 210 in Years 7-9 (2021-22) and intend to do so for the new Year 7 cohort in 2022-23.
The Governors will offer 210 places at age 11 and to every Year 7 thereafter as part of a phased increase from academic year 2023-24, until 2027-2028 when the PAN will be officially 210 in each year group.
To apply for a place at King James’s School for September 2023, parents/carers must apply online between 1st September 2022 and 31st October 2022 using the Kirklees Parent Portal. For more information and to apply online visit: www.kirklees.gov.uk/admissions.
