Admissions Consultation 2028/29

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 all schools within our Trust to take effect for school admissions from September 2028. In this case the consultation period will run from 9 November 2026 to 21 December 2026.

 

You can find further information about the proposed changes at the following link Kent Catholic Schools' Partnership - Admissions: Public Consultation or by asking for a copy of the information at the school office.
