Admissions Procedure

Pilton Community College is a member of the Ventrus Multi Academy Trust which is the admissions authority responsible for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year, see below. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code and School Admissions Appeals Code. We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council.

Come and visit us

If you are interested in your child attending our school, you are welcome to come in and visit us. This is an opportunity to see what we have to offer. Visits aren’t a compulsory part of the admissions process and won’t affect decisions on whether a place can be offered here. You can arrange a visit by contacting the school on 01271 374381 or admin@pilton.college

Applying to come here

Once you decide you would like a place for your child, you must make a formal application. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority and not direct to the school. Applications can be made online at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline or by using the forms available at http://devon.cc/applicationforms
