St Joseph's College result and next steps for 2027 entry

St Joseph's College's 2027-entry policy said parents would be advised by 13 October 2026 whether the test result reached the age-adjusted average of 105. Scores of 103 or 104 are re-marked. The school does not publish a results portal or a result-delivery method for every applicant. The date is the policy's advice deadline, not confirmation that an individual result was delivered. If you have not received an outcome, contact the school's admissions team.

If your child reached the required standard, submit the separate secondary application through your home council by 31 October 2026. If more than 150 pupils reach the standard, the policy says the school will send a link for supplementary information, also due by 31 October. Reaching the test standard and receiving a school-place offer are separate steps.

Stoke-on-Trent residents use the City Council's secondary application portal. Families who live elsewhere must apply through their own council, even if they name St Joseph's College.
