DAY PLACES: If you live within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, you can apply via the online admissions portal on the RBWM website, using the Common Application Form (CAF). You must make sure Holyport College is named as one of your six secondary school preferences. You can still apply for a Year 7 day place if you live outside of RBWM but the application must be made via your home local authority, naming Holyport College as one of your six secondary school preferences.
BOARDING PLACES: If you live in England and are applying for a Year 7 boarding place, you must complete our Boarding Application Form, which can be found on the Admission Forms page of our website. In addition to this, you must also complete your home Local Authority Common Application Form (CAF). This can be done online or you can request a paper copy of the CAF. We cannot consider your application if you do not do complete a CAF. This does not apply if you live in the rest of the UK or overseas.
All pupils whose parents have returned an application for a boarding place will be invited to attend an interview in the autumn term to assess their suitability for boarding at the College. We will also obtain a reference from their current school to complete our assessment. You will be informed if your child is suitable to board by the end of the Autumn term. Any child found not suitable to board will have the Holyport College Boarding preference removed from their Common Application Form. Suitability to Board is not the offer of a place – places will be allocated by RBWM in accordance with our Admissions Policy and successful applicants will be notified directly by their local authority on 1st March. Applicants from outside of England will be informed of the outcome of their application directly by the College on 1st March.
BOTH DAY AND BOARDING PLACES: You can apply for both a day and a boarding place in order of preference. This will count as two separate secondary school preferences on your Common Application Form and will be listed as Holyport College Day and Holyport College Boarding. Please bear in mind before applying that if you are allocated a boarding place you will be expected to take up this place; your local authority will not be required to find an alternative school if you change your mind.
