Saturday 30th November - 8:30am
Please note if you are also applying to Ebbsfleet Academy and The Leigh Academy, your child does NOT need to sit the test at each academy.
 
When selecting schools, the school at the top of the list is regarded as your first preference. In order to have the best chance of securing a place at The Leigh UTC, we would highly recommend that you place The Leigh UTC as your first preference.

For parents/carers, who wish for their child to sit the test, please click on your chosen time above in order to register your child for the test. If your child has previously been entitled to access arrangements and received these in primary school, please make sure this is identified on the form. It is essential that this form is completed by Friday 18th October 2024 (if you want your child to sit the test at The Leigh UTC).

If you are unable to access the online form, please collect a Fair Ability Banding Form from our reception at the address below, and return to us by 18th October 2024.
