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 5^th December 2022 and will end on Tuesday 31^st 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.
