Consultation on Admissions Arrangements for 2027 student intake.

The changes are in the criterion order for situations where there is oversubscription, reflecting an approach that favours families and attendance at schools within the Trust, following feedback from parents in previous years, and the Board's own priorities for its communities.

These admissions arrangements will be reviewed and then determined by the Trust Board in February 2026, the Admissions Authority, for September 2027 intakes.
