Admissions
Year 7 intake in September 2020
Following changes to the Admissions Policy for Dixons Trinity Academy, the Academy no longer admits children by fair-banding. Consequently, children who are applying for this Academy are not required to sit the non-verbal reasoning assessment and it is no longer necessary to complete a Dixons supplementary form to apply to this Academy.
Applications to the Academy should be made via the local authority / council CAF (Common Application Form). You will need to name the Academy as one of your school preferences on that form.
If you are applying for a place at Dixons Trinity Academy under the 'Exceptional medical or social need' or 'Children of staff' oversubscription criteria, please follow the instructions in the guidance document which is available as a downloadable document at the bottom of this page.
Places will be filled in line with the oversubscription criteria outlined in our Admissions and Appeals Policy (see Downloads section below). Please note that the Policy relates only to the admission year stated on the document and is subject to change in future years.
For September 2019, there were 1501 preferences made for the Academy and places were allocated as follows:
- EHCP - 6
- Looked-after - 2
- Exceptional social/medical need - 1
- Staff - 3
- Sibling - 51
- Dixons Music Primary - 14
- Distance (furthest 0.308 miles) - 34

The open event for 2020 admissions will take place on Wednesday 2nd October 2019. Presentations will take place at 5.30pm and 7.00pm; please arrive promptly at either time.
In-Year Admissions
Dixons Trinity Academy is a very popular school and, consequently, a vacancy is only likely to occur if a child leaves the year group which rarely happens.
To apply, you will need to complete an In-Year Common Application Form (ICAF) for the local authority in order to be eligible for a place if a vacancy occurs. The In-Year form and more information about the process is available from www.bradford.gov.uk/education-... or you can request for a form to be sent to you by e-mailing: schooladmissions@bradford.gov.uk or by telephoning 01274 439200.
If a vacancy does occur, we will look at the local authority waiting list and prioritise children in accordance with the oversubscription criteria (see Admissions and Appeals Policy in the Downloads section below). Should you have any questions about the admissions process, please telephone 01274 424350 or e-mail: admissions@dixonsta.com
