Admissions Consultation 2025/26

Introduction

Learn Academies Trust (Learn-AT) is the admissions authority for the following schools:

Blaby Stokes CE Primary School
Bottesford CE Primary School
Church Langton CE Primary School
Great Bowden CE Academy
Husbands Bosworth CE Primary School
Lubenham All Saints CE Primary School
Market Harborough CE Academy
Meadowdale Primary School
Queniborough CE Primary School
Red Hill Field Primary School
Ridgeway Primary Academy
St Andrew’s CE Primary School, North Kilworth
Scalford CE Primary School
South Kilworth CE Primary School
Thrussington CE Primary School

Three new schools joined the Trust in October 2023 and one in December 2023 and this consultation includes proposals for these schools to adopt Learn-AT’s admissions policy from 2025/26 to bring them into line with the other schools for which Learn-AT is the admissions authority. It is not possible to change admissions arrangements for these schools for 2024/25 because applications have already opened for this intake, so their current policies will continue to apply for this school year.

This consultation is about proposed changes to admissions arrangements from the 2025/26 school year in accordance with paragraph 1.45 of the School Admissions Code. Other than the changes outlined in this document, all other elements of each school’s admission arrangements will remain unchanged and no comments are invited on those. Please see our admission policy for further details on the process and procedures for new and mid term admissions: https://www.learnat.uk/about-learn-at/admissions

The amended policy will operate for first-time entry from September 2025. It will also apply to all mid-term admissions for the school year 2025/26 and for subsequent years until further notice.

Consultation Process

The consultation process is open from Friday 1st December 2023 to Friday 26th January 2024.

If you would like to comment on the proposals, you must submit your response in writing during this period using our form at https://forms.office.com/e/gkre1e7YgG.

Following the consultation, Learn-AT will consider any comments received and determine how to proceed. The final admission arrangements will be determined by 28th February 2024 and published on the Trust and schools’ websites by 15th March 2024.
