Admissions & Transport
Settle College welcomes students aged 11 to 18 in Years 7 to 13. The school is a comprehensive community school and students are admitted without their ability being assessed. Places at Settle College will normally be provided for children living within the local area. We are also happy to accept applications from children outside these areas.
