Aston Community Education Trust is the Admissions Authority for the 12 academies who are members of the Trust. As an Admissions Authority, we are responsible for setting, on an annual basis, admissions arrangements that are lawful, meet the requirements of the Department for Education (DfE) Admission to School Code of Practice 2021 (the code) and where necessary and appropriate are consulted upon.

Please visit each academy website (links below) which have an Admissions section containing the Admissions Policy for the school for the current and future academic years in line with requirements of the code.   

ACET use the Admissions Appeals services provided by our three Local Authorities. For further details please use the following links to the Local Authority admissions appeals guidance.
