How to apply for a place at XP and XP East

XP School Trust run two academically rigorous 11-19 mainstream secondary schools in Doncaster, UK called XP and XP East. They are situated next to each other to form a campus.

Both schools are deliberately sized with 250 students in Key Stages 3 and 4 for each school, with an additional 200 students catered for Post 16. Each school caters for ages 11-19, with 25 students in each class and two classes per year group. The schools are being rolled out over seven years, starting with XP’s Year 7 in 2014, achieving full capacity in 2020, and XP East starting Year 7 in 2017, achieving full capacity in 2023.

We welcome applications from all children residing in the postcodes of DN1 to DN12 and S64. It does not matter how close you live to the school. Admissions are determined by a random lottery administered independently by the Local Authority.

Admissions for XP & XP East

Applying for XP and XP East is through the normal Local Authority admissions process, detailed here: http://www.doncaster.gov.uk/services/schools/secondary-admissions

For the best chance of gaining a place at an XP school, parents should add XP and XP East as their first and second choice. Please note: If you are not successful in gaining a place at an XP school, this DOES NOT affect your chance of getting a place at your third choice school. For clarity, you ARE NOT less likely to gain a place at your third choice school.
