Year 7 Admissions

Foundation

The UCL Academy opened in September 2012 and is committed to ensuring a balanced and comprehensive intake for the Academy. We admit 192 students each year to the Foundation Level (Year 7) using the Common Application Form, adhering to Camden’s admissions timetable.
For detailed information on how to apply, please visit the Local Authority website: www.camden.gov.uk/admissions Alternatively, telephone the Camden admissions team on 020 7974 1625 or email: [email protected]
Please note that priority is not given to applications from any specific school/s.

As we are a popular and oversubscribed school, putting The UCL Academy as your first and/or only preference on the Common Application Form does not guarantee your child a place at the school.

If you believe that your child’s application warrants exceptional consideration, it is important for you to supply independent evidence to the school’s Social and Medical Panel from a reliable and verifiable source (for example, a clinical psychologist, paediatrician, educational psychologist ) and to make the case that The UCL Academy being the only school that can meet the child’s particular needs. For more details please write to us at [email protected].
