CONSULTATION - ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS SEPTEMBER 2028
Huxlow Academy is consulting on its admission arrangements for pupils who will start at the Academy in September 2028.
The consultation will run from 9 November 2026 to 31 December 2026.
Why are we consulting?
The Trust is required to determine its admission arrangements each year. Where changes are proposed, the Trust must consult publicly before the arrangements are determined. If no changes are made, the arrangements must still be consulted on at least once every seven years.
Huxlow Academy is proposing to reduce its Published Admission Number from 150 to 120.
We invite you to review the proposed admission arrangements and consider the following questions:
- Are the arrangements reasonable?
- Are the arrangements clear?
- Are the arrangements objective?
- Do the arrangements comply with the School Admissions Code 2021, the School Admission Appeals Code 2022, and the relevant legislation?
- Could the arrangements disadvantage or discriminate against anyone?
- Could any changes improve the arrangements?
Please send your response to
After the consultation closes, all responses will be collated and presented to the Trust Board in February 2027 for consideration before the admission arrangements are determined.
