Admissions Policy

The admissions policy has now been finalised by the Project Steering Group and approved by DCSF. You can download the full policy below.


The catchment area for Furness Academy will be the same as that of the existing Parkview, Thorncliffe and Alfred Barrow Schools.  All students who have applied for a place at one of these three schools will automatically get a place at the Academy for the school year starting in September 2009.

From September 2010, the new policy will apply.  In the case of oversubscription, parental choice, the school that siblings attend, site over subscription and the distance from home to another school where a place is available will be taken into consideration.

The start to the term has been a positive and busy one.  Students arrived back to both sites looking smarter than ever in their uniforms and have approached their studies with a real sense of determination and diligence.  The prefects on both sites have taken to their duties well, and are to be applauded on their efforts to give their personal best. Being a prefect is an honour and provides the opportunity, amongst other things, to represent all the students in meetings with myself and other Senior Leaders.
