At this time of the year, parents of year 6 children are making their applications for secondary schools places. Chase Terrace Technology College has been oversubscribed in recent years but aims to make as many places available as possible for the local community. Having increased its accommodation, the school is now able to offer extra places for next year, having increased its Planned Admission Number from 232 to 270. The school also organises its own transport service for students who live outside Burntwood.
