Consultation

When changes are proposed to admission arrangements, all admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements (including supplementary forms) that will apply for admission applications for the following school year at the normal point of entry. Where the admission arrangements have not changed from the previous year there is no requirement to consult subject to the requirement that admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes during that period.

Please note that West Park Academy does NOT intend to amend its Published Admissions Number (PAN) as a result of this exercise.

For further information, please read our full Admissions Policy 2024-2025.
