Admissions

To apply for a School place for September 2025, please click on the image on the right hand side of the page; you may wish visit our Open Evening page for more information.

Arnold Academy will consider all applications for places; admissions into the Academy are organised in conjunction with Central Bedfordshire Council.

Places need to be applied for and a completed application form needs to be returned to the Council by Wednesday 15th January 2025; places will then be allocated and parents informed on 16th April 2025 (for on-time applications). We anticipate reaching our full admission number each year, therefore you are advised to put Arnold Academy as your first choice, if you wish to secure a place for your child.
