In Year Admissions

Applications for an in year admission should be via Trafford Council’s online portal. The year group a student can be admitted to is based on their date of birth. Sale High School maintain our own waiting lists and admissions but applications must be made via Trafford Council.

Places will be allocated in accordance with the admissions criteria. Please see our Admissions Policy.

Unsuccessful applicants may ask to be placed on a waiting list and considered for any places that may arise in the future. These places will be awarded in accordance with the criteria listed above irrespective of how long someone may have been on the waiting list. There is a separate waiting list for each year group.

All applicants who have been unsuccessful will have the right to appeal to an independent appeals panel (Education Act 1993.) If you wish to exercise your right to appeal for a place at Sale High School please visit Trafford School Appeals or contact the Democratic Services Section on Telephone No. 0161 912 2798 to request an Appeal Form.
