Admissions

If your child has been allocated a place at Brooke Weston Academy, we look forward to welcoming them. There is no need to confirm acceptance unless requested by the Local Authority, but we encourage you to get in touch if you have any questions about starting with us.

If you have decided not to accept the place, please inform North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) as soon as possible so that the place can be offered to another child.

If your child was not allocated a place Brooke Weston Academy but you would like them to attend, you can request to have their name added to the waiting list. This process is managed by North Northamptonshire Council. Waiting lists are ranked according to the school’s admissions criteria rather than the date of application.

If your child was not offered a place at Brooke Weston Academy and you would like to appeal, you can do so by following the appeals process managed by North Northamptonshire Council. Appeals must be submitted through the council’s online appeal form: Make an appeal for a school place.

If you need a paper form, you can request one using our contact form, and post it to the Local Authority.

Appeals need to be submitted:    ​

• Secondary school: No later than 5pm on 27 March 2026
• Sixth form: Where offers of places are conditional upon GCSE examination results, appeals for admission to Sixth Form cannot be heard until after GCSE results are known.
