The school has adopted the County Admission Policy, which all parents and carers of students in Year 6 in Herefordshire Schools receive through the Information for Parents Booklet produced by the Local Authority. We are a non-selective school and therefore welcome students of all aptitudes and abilities. 
Secondary transfer forms are sent to parents by the Local Authority in September of Year 6 and should be returned to them, via the child’s primary school, by October. The Local Authority usually allocated places at JMHS on 1 March of the following year, according to its admission policy up to a published admission number of 174.

Year 5 students of our partner primary schools (and other schools at invitation or request) have the opportunity to attend our Year 5 Day, which takes place this year on Thursday 10 June.

Year 6 parents have an opportunity to visit the school at our Open Evening or Open Morning. Which this year took place on Thursday 8th October  6pm - 8.30pm and Friday 9th October 9.15 am - 10.45am. We are happy to show individual parents and their children round the school by appointment. Please telephone the school to arrange a visit. 

We work very closely with our partner primary schools to ensure a smooth transition. A senior member of staff visits each student in their primary school during the Spring or Summer Term of Year 6. An information evening for students and parents takes place this year on Wednesday 23rd June and will be followed the next day Thursday 24th June by a taster day.

Students at our feeder primary schools have lots of opportunities to become involved with JMHS.  These include: Gifted and Talented Workshops, Pyramid Music Prom, Sporting Events, Dance and Drama Festivals, Evening Classes etc.

For further information please contact Mr P Hammond, Assistant Headteacher.
