Study in 2023
Applications from out-of-zone students for 2023 have closed. In-zone applications are still being accepted, using the link below.
We are currently accepting applications for enrolment for study in 2023 IN-ZONE only. Please note you will need to have some documentation ready to attach in order to complete the application process. You will be sent an email confirming we have received your enrolment application.
Out-of-Zone Ballot:
We will determine if a ballot is needed to select students for any remaining places at WGHS in 2024. If required, the ballot will be held on Wednesday 6th September 2023 and you will be informed of the outcome of the ballot by Friday 8th September 2023.
Out-of-zone priority order
Each year the Board of Trustees determines the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the school zone. Once in-zone enrolment numbers are confirmed, out-of-zone applications are prioritised and drawn by ballot according to the priority list.
- First Priority This priority is not applicable as the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education
- Second Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students
- Third Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students
- Fourth Priority will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school
- Fifth Priority will be given to applicants who are children of Board employees and Board members
- Sixth Priority will be given to all other applicants
