Consultation

Proposed Exceed Learning Partnership Admission Arrangements 2026/2027

Open from Friday 25th October 2024 and Closes 5pm Friday 24th January 2025

Introduction

In accordance with the DfE’s 2021 statutory ‘School Admissions Code’ guidance, as the Admissions Authority, the Trust must consult on its Academies' admission arrangements when changes are proposed, and at least once every seven years. For this reason, a consultation is currently being held to meet the Trusts statutory duty.

Exceed Learning Partnership is committed to providing an excellent education for all children and young people within our community. As part of this commitment, we are conducting an open consultation on our proposed admission arrangements for the academic year 2026/27. This consultation gives parents, carers, staff, and the wider community the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed arrangements before they are finalised.

This consultation applies to the following academies within the Exceed Learning Partnership Trust:

  • Bentley High Street Primary School
  • Carr Lodge Academy
  • Edlington Victoria Academy
  • Hall Cross Academy
  • Hill Top Academy
  • Rosedale Primary School
  • Sandringham Primary School
  • Sheep Dip Lane Academy
  • The Mallard Academy * joining Exceed Learning Partnership on 1st January 2025
  • Willow Primary School  

The consultation is broken down into three areas:

  • Proposed Admissions Arrangements for all Primary Academies
  • Proposed Admissions Arrangements for the Secondary Academy
  • Proposed Admissions Arrangements for Nursery Admissions within Primary Academies (excluding Willow Primary School)
