In line with the School Admissions Code, City of York Council hold a coordinated admission consultation on behalf of schools within York and the School Admission Authorities. Where a school is part of a Multi Academy Trust, the Trust is the Admission Authority and not City of York Council.
All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 during the consultation period.
Responses are being collated by an online survey; schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. If you wish to contribute you are invited to go to https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 and complete the appropriate survey online.
Any comments received regarding a Multi Academy Trust policy or PAN change will be forwarded to the relevant Trust, who are their own admission authority, to consider within their own admission consultation. Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.
Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2026-2027 by 28th February 2025. Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15th March 2025 after which objections can be raised.
All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027
Determined policies for the 2024-25 and 2025-2026 can be found at https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissionPolicies
