Greenfields Primary School & Nursery 2027/28 Admissions Policy Consultation

Greenfields Primary School & Nursery is consulting on the Academy’s admission arrangements. These arrangements are for students who will be starting in September 2027.

The consultation is taking place for a period of six weeks, between 10 November 2025 –31 December 2025.

Consultation will also be undertaken via North Northampton Council’s co-ordinated consultation process and will be on the North Northampton School Admissions Consultation website from the start of the consultation period.

Why are we consulting?
The Trust must set (‘determine’) admission arrangements annually. Where changes are proposed to admission arrangements, the Trust must first publicly consult on those arrangements. If no changes are made to admission arrangements, they must be consulted on at least once every 7 years.

Greenfields Primary School & Nursery is not proposing any changes to its admissions arrangements for 2027 however is consulting in accordance with the requirement to consult on a 7-year cycle.

You are invited to review the admission arrangements and to ask yourself the following questions:

• are the arrangements reasonable?
• are the arrangements clear?
• are the arrangements objective?
• do the arrangements comply with the school admissions code 2021 and the school admissions appeals
• code 2022, and the laws and regulations behind them?
• will the arrangements cause disadvantage or discrimination?
• could changes be made that would improve the arrangements?

Responses to this consultation should be sent to DRETadmissions@dret.co.uk. The closing date for responses is 31 December 2025.

On conclusion of the consultation all responses received will be collated and presented to the Trust Board in February 2026 for full consideration.
