Moor Park High School is a state school. In England you apply through the council where you live, using its common application form, even if the school is in another council area. The national closing date for secondary places is 31 October.

When Moor Park High School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after children / previously looked after children — Looked after children, or a child previously looked after who straight after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special guardianship order, or children the school judges were in state care outside of England and left it because they were adopted; 2. Special medical or social circumstances — Children with special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at Moor Park. To meet this criterion written evidence from an appropriate professional, such as a doctor, psychologist or social worker is required for the governors to consider medical, social or welfare reasons for admission. This should accompany the application form. Please note, only exceptional reasons associated with the child/or family and relating to the suitability of the school, are normally accepted in this criterion, for example, where these needs can only be met at this school; 3. Siblings — Children who will have a sibling in attendance at Moor Park in years 7 to 11 at the time of admission. The term 'sibling' includes brothers and sisters, stepchildren, half brothers and sisters and adopted and fostered children who are living at the same address, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 130 places at this entry point. Tie-break: The measurement used will be taken in a straight line from the centre point of the residence to the centre point of Moor Park, with nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. If the Governors are unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (eg. siblings, those living the same distance from home to school, or families residing in the same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw.
