The First Federation Trust is the admissions authority for all of the Trust schools. This means that it is the Trust that makes decisions about whether to admit a pupil or not, in accordance with the School Admissions Code.

However, parents need to apply via their Local Authority for a place at any of our schools. There is information about how to apply on each school's admission page on their website.
