Graham School

read moreThe Local Authority will contact families of Year 5 children in June and provide you with information on how to apply for a secondary school place. In March of Year 6 you will be offered a place at a secondary school. At this point, Graham School will contact all families who have been offered a place with them for the following September. Currently, as primary school numbers in these areas are relatively low, Graham School also has places available for children who live outside of the normal catchment area.

We'd love you to join our alumni network and stay connected with the school. We've partnered with the national education charity Future First, who specialise in helping schools like ours to stay connected with their former students. You can choose how and when you help - perhaps you can act as a career and education role model, provide work experience, become a mentor in person or online, or help with donations, fundraising or even apply to become a governor.
