APPLY FOR A SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACE
There are 270 places available in Year 7 at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy for September 2024. All children applying for a place at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy are required to take a fair banding test, including siblings of students currently attending the academy. The applicants will be split into 5 equally sized bands based on their assessment results. Within each band our admission criteria will be applied as set out in our determined admission arrangements. This is to ensure that SCWA has a comprehensive intake and children across the full ability range are admitted. It is not possible to pass or fail the test, but those not sitting the test at all, will only be prioritised after those children who have sat the test.

In July 2024, we plan to host a Taster Event for all prospective Year 12 students. During this event, students will have the opportunity to experience life as a sixth form student at Arden. They will attend lessons related to their interests, gain insight into our culture and ethos, and have the chance to interact with our staff and students.
