Year 8

We are delighted to welcome our future students and parents to this section of the website. We are aware some students can find the process of transition quite daunting, therefore ensuring students feel safe and happy when they arrive is very important to us.

Please read the letter from Steve Wilson, the Year 8 Options Booklet 2025-2026 and all other documents carefully before completing the online form. We have also included the School Prospectus below for further information about Whitley Bay High School.

The online form will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and can only be completed in one attempt.  Please complete all four sections with as much information as possible.  Section 1 is the Admission Form, Section 2 contains permission for your child to leave school site at lunchtime (from October half term) and consent to take their biometric data (please read the letter above),  Section 3 is the subject option choices that your child can make and Section 4 is confirmation you have read and agree to our Home School Agreement (this can also be found above).  Please click the link below when you are ready to complete the form.  The deadline for completion is Friday 25th April 2025.

ADMISSION FORM AND OPTION CHOICES

We are already working regularly with local middle schools to ensure we know your child before they start in September.  Our summer transition programme allows students and parents an opportunity to visit the school in order to meet the teachers and become familiar with the school environment.  If you would like to do this at a convenient time to yourself, please get in touch via phone, email or the 'Contact Us' button below.

We look forward to meeting you this year and are very excited about working with you throughout your child's time at school.
