Entry information
For September 2027 entry
Iqra Academy is a girls’ secondary school for ages 11–19. Its homepage says applications for the September 2027 Year 7 intake opened on 8 October 2026. The admissions page says families apply by form, including in-year transfers, and that the school is not currently oversubscribed; it publishes no Year 7 entrance exam. Contact the school to confirm the current form, fees and selection steps, as the linked form naming and fee information are not fully aligned with the new intake notice.
Entry stage: Year 7, September 2027 (girls; non-selective information published)
The admissions process
- The school’s homepage says Year 7 applications for September 2027 are open; telephone 01733 331433 or use the school’s application link.
- The admissions page describes applications for Years 7–11 and in-year transfers. If oversubscribed, its stated criteria include exceptional circumstances supported by professional opinion, siblings and distance.

Before you apply
- The current homepage announces September 2027 Year 7 applications, but the admissions page still contains an older 2024–25 fee reference and the linked PDF title refers to 2026–27 despite containing a September Year 7 entry option. Confirm the correct application form and current fees with the school.
