Consultation: Admissions Arrangements for 2023/24
We have consulted on our Admissions Arrangements for 2023/24. This consultation commenced at 9am Thursday 11 November 2021 and closed at 5pm on Saturday 8 January 2021.
The key changes to our admissions arrangements are:
- The removal of the ‘social/medical’ oversubscription criteria as our school aspire support any child whatever their needs.
This consultation took place in accordance with the requirements as set out in the School Admissions Code (here). The consultation took place for six weeks as it is good practice that this six-week period excludes school holidays.
The GLF Trust Board is the Admissions Authority for our School. It reviewed all responses to the consultation prior to agreeing the final Admissions Arrangements for 2023/24. These are published as part of the document available at the bottom of this webpage.
