In-Year Places

A Rare Opportunity to Join Our School

Rastrick High School currently has a small number of in-year places available in selected year groups. These opportunities rarely arise and are offered when spaces become available during the academic year.

If you are considering a change of school for your child, this may be a timely opportunity to explore Rastrick High School.

Rastrick High School is part of the Polaris Multi-Academy Trust and provides a calm, supportive learning environment with high expectations for all pupils.

What Is an In-Year Place?

An in-year place allows a pupil to join a school outside the normal Year 7 admissions round. This may be due to a house move or a family choosing to seek a different school for their child.

In-year availability at Rastrick High School is uncommon.
