Year 7 Admissions
Applications for Year 7 for September 2026 are now closed.
Joining us in Year 7 for September 2026? Key dates are listed below:
Parent/Carer Information Evening: You are invited to join us on Tuesday 23rd June 4.30pm – 6.30pm. During this event, you will be able to meet your child's form tutor and other senior staff. You will be given a Parents' Information Handbook, which will contain useful information about the routines at the school. We will write to you with further details regarding this evening, closer to the time.
Transition Days: This year, we have arranged a three-day transition experience for our new Year 7 pupils on Wednesday 24th June, Thursday 25th June and Friday 26th June. This will be an opportunity for your child to meet their new classmates and take part in a variety of lessons and activities.
Transport to The Maelor School
Many of our pupils travel beyond their usual catchment area. Please visit our dedicated Transport page for further information.
Managing the Transition to Our School
We know that the move to secondary school is a big, and often daunting move. We work closely with our pupils, primary schools and our families to make sure that the transition to our school is seamless. Our staff will visit your child’s primary school regularly during the year and will work closely with Year 6 teachers. Year 6 pupils visit the school for three ‘Taster Days’ in June, which allows our new pupils to fully understand what life as a Maelor pupil is like.
Pupils meet their form tutor and take part in sample lessons with their future class. We also offer an extra day of induction to all those pupils who may be transferring on their own so that they can meet and make friends ahead of the taster days in June. Parents are also invited to meet the Headteacher, senior staff, and the form tutors during an evening meeting in June.
