Arranging a tour

We hope that this website and prospectus give you a taste of what life at The Wensleydale School is like.

The best way, however, to really understand our school is to come and see it for yourself. Visitors are always welcome at The Wensleydale School, particularly any who are considering sending their child to the school.

If you would like a tour with our Headteacher then please get in touch.

We have been overwhelmed with applications, so will unfortunately only be able to give you a brief tour of the school and cannot discuss individual children’s needs.

Applying for a place

Admission from local primary schools is arranged through the Local Education Authority in conjunction with the school. Any child between the ages of 11 and 16 years who lives within the catchment area of the school is entitled to attend, provided there is room within that year group. 

Applications for students with EHCPS take place via the SEN Consultation route. If a consult is accepted, you will then be invited to meet with our senior staff to go through your child’s needs in more detail.

We welcome applications from Parents/Carers of children living outside the area, though in most year groups we continue to be oversubscribed.
