Are Academies selective schools?
Academies are all-ability schools. In line with other schools with a specialism they can admit up to 10 per cent of pupils each year on the basis of their aptitude for the specialism concerned, where the specialism is covered by the relevant regulations. The relevant specialisms are physical education (PE) or sports, the performing arts, the visual arts, modern foreign languages, design and technology, and information technology. In all cases, the admission arrangements for each Academy are agreed with the Secretary of State as a condition of the funding agreement and are consistent with the code of practice on admissions and with admissions law.
