Consultation on Admission Arrangements for September 2026
Every year schools and academies are required to review their admission arrangements. The aim is to ensure that the arrangements continue to be appropriate, and that they comply with all the relevant requirements, particularly the national code of guidance and the policy of the Archdiocese.
The Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership is consulting on proposed changes to the admissions policy for this school to take effect for school admissions for September 2026. The proposed changes will affect new applications for entry into our school from 1 September 2026 onwards. In this case the consultation period will run from 13 December 2024 to 24 January 2025.
You can find further information about the proposed changes at the following link https://www.kcsp.org.uk/admissions-consultation-for-202627/ or by asking for a copy of the information at the school office.
