School Admissions

Thank you for your interest in our school. Should you wish your child to attend Northern Saints CE Academy, please contact us on 0191 9171685 to arrange an appointment to come and view the school and meet our staff.

The Academy Council of Northern Saints CE Academy is the Admission Authority for the school.

We intend to admit up to 90 pupils to the Reception year group each academic year. This arrangement follows consultation between Northern Saints CE Academy Council, the Local Authority, all other schools in the area and all Admission Authorities in the area.

For full details of the admissions process please follow this link School Admissions

All school admissions (Reception to Y6) are processed by Sunderland City Council’s School Admissions Department and places are allocated according to a strict set of admissions criteria.

In-Year Admissions

An in year admission is when a parent wishes to apply for a place at a school not during the formal transition times (e.g. going into Reception for the first time, moving from a primary school to a secondary school). This is usually because the child is moving to a different address or is new to the country but it can be for other reasons as well. These moves usually take place during the academic year which is why they are referred to as ‘in-year’ admissions.

Admissions Appeals

There are several options that you can take if you have been refused a place at Northern Saints CE Academy. For more information and the timetable for this process, please visit Sunderland City Council website Admissions Appeals
