Consultation on Admission Arrangements at Park Junior School
All admission authorities are required to formally consult if they propose to make any changes to their admission arrangements for the following school year, or at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes during that period.
We are currently consulting on our admission arrangements which apply from September 2026 in relation to Park Junior School and are proposing the following changes:
- Addition of children of school staff criteria to align with other schools that are part of Northampton Primary Academy Trust.
The consultation period runs from 11th November to 31st December 2024. Should you wish to make any comments about the proposed arrangements you can do so by email to

Northampton Primary Academy Trust welcomes children to join schools in our Trust both at the start of their school life (the academic year during which they turn five years old) and as a transfer from another school either at the beginning of an academic year or at any point during an academic year.
Pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan will be allocated a place where the school is named as being the appropriate provision.
After the admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan that names the school, priority for admission will be given to children in the order specified in the individual schools admission arrangements.
