Admission Arrangements Consultation 2028 Intake

We are consulting on admissions arrangements for several of our schools in West Northamptonshire for the 2028 intake of pupils. This is not because our admissions arrangements are changing, but because we must consult every seven years, and it has been seven years since we last did so.

You can find a copy of the proposed admission arrangements for 2028-2029 for these schools on this page.

The consultation runs from 16 November to 31 December 2026.

You can respond to the consultation by emailing West Northamptonshire Council at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it."

or by emailing Northampton Primary Academy Trust at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Please specify which school you are responding about in your email.
