Admissions 2027-2028 Consultation
We are required to consult each year when there are changes to admissions arrangements. We are formally consulting between Monday 17th November and Monday 16th January 2026.
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. Any comments should be sent to consult@abingdonlearningtrust.org
These admissions arrangements will be reviewed and then determined by the Trust Board in February 2026, the Admissions Authority, for September 2027 intakes.
