Pickwick Academy Trust is consulting on a proposed new draft Admissions Policy for all schools within Pickwick Academy Trust. If the consultation is successful, the policy and admissions criteria will be applied to all schools ( 21) within the Trust as of 28 February 2026 from September 2027. This is intended to improve the consistency of approach across all our schools, ensure compliance with legal admissions requirements and reduce workload for each school leadership team and governors. Please find our proposed new draft Admissions Policy below , along with the proposed changes. The consultation will run from Monday 3rd November 2025 until Monday 15th December 2025.

We will respond to all feedback and pass feedback onto the Trustees before they determine the policy. The Trustees will consider the responses and determine the policy before 28th February 2026.
