We warmly invite you to come and see what we offer and get the answers to any questions you may have. Just come along (no booking necessary). If you would prefer, contact the office to make an appointment.

We hope that this page gives you all of the information about the admissions process and how you apply to join Woodlands Academy, part of the Harbour Learning Trust.

Applications

To apply for a place at Woodlands Academy, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Check when your child is due to start – click What year is my child in?
  2. Read the Admissions Policy (link below). It is important to take note of the oversubscription criteria as you may have elements which give you priority over others should we receive more applicants than places.
  3. Complete the Council’s admissions form. The closing date for admissions into Reception in 2025, is 15 January 2025.  Application for admissions into other year groups can be made any any point in the academic year.

Any applications received after the closing date will be considered after all of those completed and submitted on time.

What happens next
  • If your application is on time, you will be able to collect your offer on 16 April 2025. 
  • If you apply by paper form, your offer will be posted on 16 April 2025. If your application is late, The County Council will process it at a later date and then send you a letter. 
  • Unsuccessful applicants will be placed on a waiting list. If a place becomes available this will be allocated using the School’s Admissions Policy and over subscriptions criteria.
  • Unsuccessful applicants have the right to appeal once every academic year – information will be sent with the decision letter from North East Lincolnshire
    Council. The deadline to appeal to be received is     14 May 2025.
