Admissions
The Governors of Hounsdown School are the admission authority for the school. They have chosen to adopt Hampshire County council's admission policy which was in place prior to the school gaining academy status on 01 August 2011. Hounsdown School works closely with the Local Authority to ensure that the school's admission arrangements are complied with.
The published admission number (PAN) for Hounsdown School for 2024-2025 is 261.

Moving from Year 6 to Year 7
Most of our students join us at the beginning of Year 7 (aged 11), primarily from our three local linked primary schools, Foxhills, Abbotswood and Bartley.
Transition from primary to secondary school is an exciting time for all, although we recognise that some may feel anxiety about the change. We work closely with students and parents to ensure that everyone settles quickly into school life here at Hounsdown.
If you have any specific questions about the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, then please email us at Transition@hounsdown.hants.sch.uk. |
Our Admissions ProcessApplications for admission to Year 7 are conducted by the Local Authority during the first half of the autumn term when children are in Year 6.
Parents of children in Year 6 will receive information about the application process from their child’s current primary school.
Parents and carers are informed of places allocated by the Local Authority shortly after their list is published. |
