Admission Application

In a change to previous years, all reception and secondary applications in the normal admissions round should be submitted to the council, even if one of the school preferences is a faith school (St Joseph's RC High School).
St Joseph’s RC High School admits up to 240 pupils into each year group. This standard admission number is set by Governors in accordance with the capacity survey completed by Newport City Council and the Welsh Government. If there are more than 240 applications, governors' will use the over-subscription criteria set out in the Admissions Policy.
