Consultation for Admission Policies 2024-2025
Consultation for The Harmony Trust Admissions Policies 2024-25
The Harmony Trust is an Admission Authority and we have a requirement for the Trust to consult on the admission arrangements for all our schools at least once every 7 years.
Therefore, we are undertaking a consultation relating to the Admissions Policies for 2024-25 for all schools within The Harmony Trust, this consultation will commence on Monday 5th December 2022 and will end on Tuesday 31st January 2023. Each regional Hub has its own policy, the schools covered by this consultation are as follows:
| Tameside Hub | Derby Hub |
| Greenfield Primary Academy | Alvaston Junior Academy |
| Ash Croft Primary Academy | |
| Oldham Hub | Carlyle Infant & Nursery Academy |
| Alt Primary Academy | Cavendish Junior Academy |
| Greenhill Primary Academy | Cottons Farm Primary Academy |
| Northmoor Primary Academy | Hackwood Primary Academy |
| Richmond Primary Academy | Reigate Primary Academy |
| Westwood Primary Academy | Lakeside Primary Academy |
| Village Primary Academy |
Derby Hub – The proposed amendment to the Admissions Policies is to have one policy relating to all the Derby Academies within The Harmony Trust. The wording of the policy has been reviewed to ensure greater clarity for parents and carers and compliance with the School Admissions Code and in accordance with Derby City Council’s admissions criteria.
Tameside and Oldham Hubs - It should be noted that there are no changes to the oversubscription criteria. The wording of the policy has been reviewed to ensure greater clarity for parents/carers and compliance with the School Admissions Code.
