University of Chichester Academy Trust

Consultation on 2026-2027 Admissions

 

Context

Two Academies in the Trust have merged – Langstone Infant Academy and Langstone Junior Academy so there is no longer an admission round for Y3 entry into Langstone Junior Academy.

Two Academies are joining the Trust during the academic year 2024-5, Bordon Infant School and Woodlea Primary School.

Waiting list arrangements in some Local Authorities have changed.

Proposal

The policy for 2026-27 is amended to reflect these changes:

• Removal of Langstone Infant Academy, Langstone Junior Academy and replaced with Langstone Primary Academy.
• Addition of Bordon Infant School, Hampshire and Woodlea Primary School, Hampshire pending conversion to the Trust.
• Slight change to wording regarding management of waiting lists.
• Increase in PAN at Bordon Junior School to take the previously increased numbers admitted to Bordon Infant School.

 

Consultation

In line with the Admissions Code, The Trust is consulting with stakeholders between Monday 11 November 2024 and Monday 16 December 2024. The views of stakeholders of the proposed changes are welcome.
