Appeals
The Board of the Multi Academy Trust is the Admissions Authority with the responsibility for the administration of the admission arrangements and remain responsible for any appeals.
Between December and January all admission authorities have to consult for a period of 6 weeks on any changes to their proposed admission arrangements or any proposed decrease in their published admission number (PAN). Admission authorities do not have to consult on proposed increases to their PAN.
After the close of the consultation period on 31st January, the admission authority must take account of any responses received and determine their final admission arrangements by 28th February.
The School Admissions Code states that all school admission arrangements and policies must be determined by 28th February and published by 15th March. Our determined Admissions Policy for 2023/24 is now available on our website.
