Consultation – Lingfield Education Trust Admissions Policy 2027-28
Lingfield Education Trust is an admission authority and it is a requirement for the Trust to consult on the admission arrangements for our schools at least once every seven years or when there is a significant change to the policy, for example where there is a change in oversubscription criteria or pupil admission number.
A consultation relating to the Admissions Policy for 2027-28, for all schools within Lingfield Education Trust, will commence on 15th December 2025 and will conclude at midnight on 31st January 2026.
We would welcome your views on the proposed admission arrangements. The proposed Admission Policy for 2027-28 can be found here: Admissions Policy Please note that this consultation includes:
- a reduction in the PAN at Handale School, Loftus, from 60 to 30
- a change in the oversubscription criteria for Cambrai school
- inclusion of new schools to the Trust since the last consultation
Notification of the consultation is being communicated by the Trust to the following:
- The relevant Local Authority
- All parents and carers of pupils of the Trust
