In-Year Admissions
We are a popular school and have a waiting list for places in all years. Please note that admissions for our school are handled by Hackney Education. The school has no say in allocating places.
If you would like details of how to apply through Hackney Education, please click here to head to their secondary school admissions page.
We are hosting In-Year Admission Open Mornings for parents/carers of students in Years 7-11 only who are considering a move to our school. This event provides a great opportunity to explore our facilities, experience our school environment, and ask any questions you may have before making an application. The morning will be led by a member of our Senior Leadership Team and will include a short guided tour, followed by a Question and Answer session. The dates are:
- Tuesday 25th March 9.00am – 9.45am
- Thursday 24th April 9.00am – 9.45am
- Tuesday 13th May 9.00am – 9.45am
- Tuesday 10th June 9.00am – 9.45am
- Tuesday 1st July 9.00am – 9.45am
Attendance must be confirmed by us beforehand. To submit a request to attend one of the open mornings, please email admin@sns.hackney.sch.uk confirming:
