If there are more applications than there are places available at the Academy, then places will be awarded on the oversubscription criteria set out in our admissions arrangements available below:
Admissions Policy – Jewellery Quarter Academy 2025-2026
Admissions Policy – Jewellery Quarter Academy 2026-2027
Any child with an Education and Health Care Plan which names the Academy is required to be admitted. This gives such children overall priority for admission. This is not an oversubscription criterion.
IN YEAR ADMISSIONS
Applications made outside the normal admissions round (in-year admissions) should be made directly to the school.

Parents/carers can apply for a place for their child at any time and to any school. The school will notify parents of the decision in writing within 15 school days and will notify the local authority of both the application and its outcome to allow the Local Authority to keep up to date with figures on the availability of school places in Birmingham.
