Hillside High School and the Trust work within the Sefton coordinated admissions process. The LA has now published the admissions consultation scheme for 2027 entry (on behalf of the school) which includes the proposed changes to the admission arrangements for Hillside High School (change to admission criterion: additional feeder primary school).
Current feeder primary schools are: Bedford Primary School or Christ Church CE Primary School. The proposal is to add a further Sefton feeder primary school to the oversubscription criteria: Thomas Gray Primary School, effective from September 2027.
