We are consulting on our planned admissions arrangements at two of our academies for pupils applying for places in the academic year beginning September 2026. The consultation will run for 6 weeks from 25th October 2024 to 6th December 2024. Please refer to documents 1 - 4 linked below.

If you wish to raise any points about an academy’s admission arrangements, then please email us at: - contactus@astoncetrust.org

Please ensure that, if you want to share your views, you do so by 6th December 2024. After this date, the Local Governing Board will review all feedback to inform their decision on the school’s admission arrangements. Arrangements will be published on the school website by 15th March 2025.

In reference to Document 5:

No changes have been made to these arrangements, however, it is a requirement as outlined in ‘The School Admissions Code 2021’ that all admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least once every 7 years, even when no changes have been made to the arrangements.

The consultation period is to span over a minimum of 6 weeks. For the ACET academies listed, we intend to consult from Monday 4^th December 2023 to Monday 1^st January 2024.
