How do I apply for a place at Madeley Academy?
Apply through the council where you live by 31 October in your child's Year 6, for a place starting the following September.

Offers are sent on 1 March, or the next working day.
Does living near Madeley Academy guarantee a place?
No. Distance only counts when Madeley Academy has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
How many pupils are at Madeley Academy?
Madeley Academy had 1,220 pupils aged 11 to 18 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 1,100. It is a mixed school with a sixth form.
