Consultation on Proposed Admission Arrangements 2028–2029

Have your say on admissions at Horninglow Primary Academy

Affinity Learning Partnership, the admission authority for Horninglow Primary Academy, is consulting on the proposed admission arrangements for the academy for the 2028–2029 academic year.

The admission arrangements set out how applications for places at the academy will be considered and how places will be allocated if more applications are received than there are places available. They include the Published Admission Number (PAN) and the oversubscription criteria that will be applied when the academy receives more applications than it can accommodate.

The Department for Education’s School Admissions Code 2021 requires admission authorities to consult on their admission arrangements at least once every seven years, even where no changes are proposed. As the arrangements for [Academy name] have not been subject to consultation within the last seven years, the Trust is consulting to give parents, carers and other interested parties the opportunity to comment.
