This year’s Admissions Consultation is being held by City of York Council and involves a number of Academy Trusts with schools within the city. The consultation will run between 8th October and 21st November 2025.  The consultation includes the admission policies and planned number of places available at each participating school/MAT in the year(s) of entry 2027-2028.

All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at www.york.gov.uk/admissionsconsultation during the consultation period.

Responses are being collated by the online surveys, schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. Anyone wishing to contribute is invited to go to www.york.gov.uk/admissionsconsultation and complete the appropriate survey online.

Any comments received regarding a Multi Academy Trust policy or PAN change will be forwarded to the relevant Trust, who are their own admission authority, to consider within their own admission consultation or determination. Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.

Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2027-2028 by 28 February 2026.  Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15 March 2026 after which objections can be raised.

All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at www.york.gov.uk/admissionsconsultation
