Y7 Applications
All our Year 7 applications are currently administered and processed by North Yorkshire Council and therefore if you would like your child to join us in Year 7 this should be done via the NYC website. The application window opens in early September of Year 6, and applications must be received online by 31 October for entry the following September. For more information and to apply, please visit: https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/school-admissions. Each year, North Yorkshire Council allocates 150 Year 7 places to Malton School, known as our Published Admission Number.
You will be notified by NYC of the results of your application in early March. If you have been successful in your application we will also contact you in March to begin the transition process.
Year 7 Appeals
North Yorkshire Council notifies parents of Year 7 secondary school place allocations at the start of March each year. For the past few years we have been oversubscribed, which means that not all families who request Malton School are offered a place. If you are unsuccessful, there is an independent appeals process, further details of which can be found on the NYC website: https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/appeal-school-place
Full details of our Admissions Policy, which includes information on Appeals, can be found below in the policies section.
