The Royal Alexandra and Albert School is a co-educational state boarding school for boys and girls aged 7-18. We offer Full Boarding (Years 3-13), Flexi Boarding (Years 3-11), and Sixth Form Non-Boarding places. Further information regarding how to make an application can be found below.

Boarding Application (Year 3-11)
Please use this form, also known as a supplementary form, if you are applying for a Boarding Place. Whilst there are many priorities for admission to boarding, in practice, the majority of applications fall into the sixth priority.  In most cases, a timely application will ensure that a boarding bed is available to the applicant, provided the child is assessed as suitable for boarding.

Flexi Boarding Application (Year 3 and Year 7)
Please use this form, also known as a supplementary form, if you are applying for a Flexi Boarding place (Flexi Boarding is where pupils stay for the extended day and sleep in the boarding house 7-10 nights per year)
