Consultation on Admission Arrangements

The Academy Trust has a consultation period running from Monday 29 November 2021 until 31 January 2022; during which time, parents, carers and other stakeholders are invited to express their views and any concerns about the proposed change to the admission arrangements at Hailsham Community College Academy Trust.

In accordance with the DfE’s 2014 statutory ‘College Admissions Code’ guidance, as a college we must consult on our admission arrangements when changes are proposed, and at least once every seven years. To this end, the following amendments to our admission arrangements have been proposed:

• A change to the oversubscription criteria at 4+ admissions (Reception classes), giving a higher priority to pupils who have attended Hailsham Community College Pre-school.
