Admissions

St Matthew Academy is a Catholic all-through school, offering places to children and young people aged 4 to 16. We are sponsored by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark.  We always welcome visits from prospective parents at one of our open events, or please contact the Academy reception (020 8853 6250) to arrange a tour of the Academy.

The Academy has an agreed admission number of 30 pupils in reception and 150 pupils in year 7. Pupils in year 6 have the automatic right to transfer to year 7. The Academy will then admit additional pupils up to a maximum of 180 places available in year 7.

Applications for Reception, Year 7 and In Year Transfers to the Academy should be made through the local authority of the applicant, using the appropriate coordinated admissions form. Please note all applicants must complete a supplementary application form for the appropriate primary or secondary phase. The form can be downloaded below along with full details of our Admissions Policy.
