Admissions
Year 7 intake in September 2021
The national offer date for school places is Monday 1 March 2021. Parents who completed the local authorities Common Application/Preference Form (CAF/CPF) will be advised by the local authorities of the school allocated to their child on this date.
All pupils requiring a place at Dixons Cottingley were allocated one. It is possible that a small number of places may become available in the coming months. If you are interested in your child attending Dixons Cottingley, you can add your child’s name to the waiting list by completing and returning the Bradford local authority Waiting List form; this is available from the downloads section below.
If a place becomes available it will be filled from the waiting list in the order of the oversubscription criteria (see Admissions & Appeals policy).
If you have not yet completed a local authority Common Application Form (CAF) you should complete the Late Preference form available below. If you completed a CAF but did not make 5 preferences then you can complete the Additional Preference form, also available below.
