Following the school’s recent consultation on proposed changes to our admission arrangement from September 2026, we are pleased to confirm all changes have been approved.

What does this mean?

• For admissions September 2026 onwards, Marshland High School’s catchment will include the parishes of Upwell and Outwell.

• Upwell Academy and Beaupre Community Primary School will become feeder primary schools to Marshland High School.

• In accordance with our published September 2026 school admission procedures, children at Upwell Academy and Beaupre Community Primary School will be prioritised for a place at Marshland High School based on criteria 4.

• “Priority will be given to children with siblings at the school living permanently at the same address.   Priority will equally be given to siblings of former pupils” will move from criterion 3 to criterion 6.

The above changes should mean, based on historic admission applications, all children within the new enlarged school catchment area are likely to secure a place at Marshland High School.
