Introduction to this Website

This website aims to provide you, as a parent, with all the information about
primary and secondary schools in Middlesbrough maintained by the Local
Education Authority (LEA), which you will need to help you decide where
your child should be educated.

The Guide contains general information on education in Middlesbrough and lists
each of the schools in the LEA, together with admission arrangements. This
includes the type of school, its age range, the total number of pupils in the
school, and the maximum number of places normally available in the first year
age group during the academic year 2006/07.

From this list, you will be able to tell whether the school is a community school,
city academy or a voluntary aided one, and whether or not it has any
denominational background. You will also be able to tell the size of the school.
You are entitled to express a preference as to which primary or secondary
school you want your child to attend. Details of how to do this are given in the
website.

Each school produces a prospectus. This contains information of a general
nature about the day to day running of the school, including details of the
admissions policy agreed by the school and the LEA or Governing Body. If you
would like a prospectus, please write to the Head Teacher of the school
concerned.

If you require more details or clarification about admission arrangements,
admission zones or education in general, please write to the Children, Families
and Learning Department, Middlesbrough Council, P.O.Box 69, Vancouver
House, Middlesbrough, TS1 1EL.

The information contained in this Guide is correct at the time of going to press.
