Admissions
Alanbrooke Academy is part of the Elevate Multi Academy Trust, who are the admissions authority. However, our admission arrangements are managed by North Yorkshire County Council in line with the School Admissions Code and Fairness Access Protocols. This applies to places when children would normally start school (the Reception Year) and to children who may join our academy after this time (for example, as the result of a house move). Please contact admin@alanbrookeacademy.org for more information on admissions.

The online form will only allow you to apply for the year group your child should be in according to your child's date of birth.
