The anticipated opening date for the new North Coast Secondary School, located in Perranporth, is September 2026 (subject to confirmation from government ministers and the Department for Education).
The admissions policies for 2026/27 for the new North Coast Secondary School and other existing schools in the area will give further information on admission arrangements.
The 2026/27 admissions arrangements for the new school will be published on these web pages as soon as we have received final confirmation from the Department for Education that the new school will be opening in September 2026.
The arrangements for existing schools for 2025/26 and 2026/27 are available Admission Arrangements 2025/26 and Admission Arrangements 2026/27.
We have provided two versions of admissions arrangements for Richard Lander School (for 2026/27) covering both the scenario that the new North Coast Secondary School opens in September 2026 and the scenario that it doesn’t.
