Notice of a statutory Admission Arrangement Consultation
In accordance with the 2021 School Admissions Code, notice is hereby given that the Academy Admissions Committee propose to alter the admission arrangements applying to HCAT for the 2027/28 academic year.
A statutory admissions consultation will commence on 10th November 2025 and will end at 4 pm on 2nd January 2026.
The proposed 2027/28 admission arrangements aim to reflect the statutory responsibilities of the admissions authority for the school and to embed local procedure that is fair and reasonable in practice.
The Trust is also consulting on the oversubscription criteria for the following schools:
The oversubscription criteria is applied when the number of applications exceed the admission number for the school.
Children who have a statement of special educational needs or Education, Health and Care Plan which names the school are required to be admitted. For our Schools, priority will be given in the following order:
– looked after children and previously looked after children.
– children who will have brothers or sisters in school at the time of admission.
– Children of staff employed at the School.
– and then children living nearest to school (distance measured in a straight line).
The Academy Admissions Committee will meet shortly after the consultation closes in order to consider any comments received during the consultation period and a response will be sent to all those who contributed.
