Coordinated Admission Consultation
In line with the School Admissions Code 2021, we hold a coordinated admission consultation on behalf of schools within York and the School Admission Authorities. The consultation is open from Monday 7 October to Monday 18 November 2024.
The draft admissions policies, published admission numbers and related documents for schools in the City of York area advise how admissions applications and decisions will be made for the 2026 to 2027 school year.
Some draft documents will apply to more than one school where the policy applies to Community and Voluntary Controlled schools and schools within a Multi Academy Trust. The schools to which the policy applies are listed in the policy.
Feedback provided, through the admission consultation survey, regarding schools where City of York Council are the Admission Authority will be considered by City of York Council. Feedback provided, through the admission consultation survey, regarding schools which are part of a Multi Academy Trust, where the Trust is the Admission Authority, will be passed to the Trust to be considered.
