In Year Admissions
Rye College opts into the Local Authority's co-ordinated in-year admissions scheme. It is important you contact us in the first instance to discuss any potential move.
Parents may apply for in-year places via either ESCC or direct to the Admissions Officer at the academy. Further details of the in-year process and the Application Form are available here for ESCC or from the academy (please email: admissions@ryecollege.co.uk).
In the normal admissions round or at any point in the normal year of entry, if a place is available and there is no waiting list, the student will be admitted [except where the “twice excluded” rule applies].
For in-year applications received for all other year groups, if a place is available and there is no waiting list, the student will be admitted subject to the admission authority being able to refuse admission if it has good reason to believe that the student may display challenging behaviour and thus refer the student to the Fair Access Protocol.
If more applications are received than there are places available, then applications will be ranked in accordance with the oversubscription criteria above. If a place cannot be offered at this time you have a right of appeal. You will be offered the opportunity of being placed on a waiting list.
