Entry information

Outwood Alternative Provision Eston is an alternative provision setting, not a general 11+ school-entry route. Its current admissions page considers referrals for pupils on an Outwood mainstream academy roll who need respite or are at risk of permanent exclusion; requests from local authorities, non-Outwood schools or out-of-authority organisations go directly to the Head of Centre.

The admissions process

  • For an Outwood mainstream pupil, the published page describes referral where respite is needed or the pupil is at risk of permanent exclusion.
  • Local authorities, non-Outwood schools and out-of-authority organisations should contact the Head of Centre directly.
