Admissions

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.

There are currently changes being made to the home to school transport criteria by North Yorkshire Council which will come into effect in September 2025.  Please see a letter from Mr Whitaker which has been sent to all our students.
