Consultation on Admissions Arrangements

Embark Federation is consulting on its proposed admissions arrangements for entry in September 2027.  In line with statutory requirements, admission authorities must consult at least once every 7 years.  Our current admissions arrangements have been in place for more than seven years, there are no proposed changes.  We want to ensure they remain fair, transparent, and meet the needs of children, families and the wider community.

Consultation Period and How to Respond

The consultation will run for 6 weeks from 24 November 2025 to 4 January 2026.  You can view the draft arrangements here; Policies - Embark Federation and send any comments to embarkgovernance@embarkfed.org.uk by 4 January 2026.

All responses will be considered by the Trust Board before the final arrangements are determined by 28 February 2026.  The determined policy will be published on our website by 15 March 2026.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important process.
