We are excited to welcome your child to Ecclesfield! 

On the day of placement, we will email our Welcome Booklet to all Year 6 students. This booklet is intended to provide answers to any questions and to help establish communication between families and Ecclesfield School as your child makes the transition from primary to secondary school. 

What if I am unhappy with the offer?

The email or letter will tell you what you can do if you are unhappy with the outcome of your application and how to appeal.
Your child will be placed on the waiting list of any school ranked higher than the one offered. You can contact the Admissions Team for general advice and to ask about the availability at other schools.

Data Collection - Admissions+ by Applicaa

As part of our commitment to ensuring a seamless transition from Year 6 to Year 7  our school utilises a web-based program called Admissions+ by Applicaa. Admissions+ streamlines the enrolment process by allowing us to import student records in advance and seamlessly integrate our new students. By using this system, we can efficiently and securely collect essential student data, ensuring accurate and timely processing.

What to Expect:

1. Sign-Up Email: In the coming weeks, you will receive an email from Applicaa inviting you to sign up for Admissions+. Please keep an eye on your mailbox (and junk) for this important communication. This will be sent to the email address you used to apply to Ecclesfield School.
2. Data Collection: Through Admissions+, we will collect and verify student information, including contact details, academic history, specific learning requirements, medical details and dietary requirements etc.
3. Smooth Transition: By participating in this process, you will ensure a smooth transition for your child as they embark on their Ecclesfield journey.

If you have not received an email from Admissions+ by Applicaa on behalf of transition@ecclesfield-mlt.co.uk please contact the school office. Please be mindful that sometimes email can end up in junk and spam folders, the email will be titled "Welcome to Ecclesfield Secondary School - Data Collection" .
