Admissions
Year 6 into Year 7 Transition
Students are primarily drawn from our local communities of Tytherington, Bollington and the surrounding areas.
We have very large numbers of students who come to the school from primary schools located in Macclesfield Town and the surrounding areas. We attach great importance to maintaining positive links with our partner schools, but we do also accept applications from students even if they do not attend one of our partner primary schools.
A member of our Leadership Team, together with our Transition Manager, have overall responsibility for primary liaison. In line with the School Admission Code, we may refuse to admit if we consider that admitting the child would seriously prejudice the provision of efficient education or efficient use of resources.
See our transition page for more information on transition from year 6 into year 7.
See our Policies page for our previous and current years admission policies.

In-year Admissions
‘In-year admissions’ are made when a parent of a child that is already of secondary school age makes an application to Tytherington School for a transfer from their current place of education. If you are interested in your child transferring to Tytherington School through this method, please contact us in order to find out if there are places available in the appropriate school year group and arrange a meeting and school tour with our Headteacher.
Once you have had a meeting and school tour and an offer of a place has been made, we will request that you complete our school admissions forms and provide details of your application to Cheshire East using the contact details above.
Please note that we will make contact with a child’s current place of education when an enquiry or application is made and we are unable to process any in-year admissions during a holiday period. Any enquiries or applications made during a holiday period will begin to be processed on return to normal term time. Please see our Term Dates page.
Appeals
Appeals will be dealt with in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code which came into force on the 1st February 2012. Should an application for a place at Tytherington School be unsuccessful, parents/carers will be notified of their legal right of appeal against the decision of the Admissions Authority, i.e. the Governing Body. Parents/carers will be required to complete an appeal form which must be returned to the school.
Tytherington School follows the same school applications timetable, and therefore timetable for appeals, as the Cheshire East Local Authority (LA). Therefore, please see the Cheshire East School Applications Timetable for full details.
