ADMISSIONS POLICY CONSULTATION

Statutory consultation on proposed changes to admission arrangements

In accordance with the School Admissions Code 2021, we are required to review our admissions policy annually and to consult on our admission arrangements at prescribed times. Where the admission arrangements have not changed from the previous year, there is no requirement to consult, subject to the requirement that admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes during that period. The Code mandates consultation whenever changes to the admission arrangements are proposed. 

The Governing Body of The Aylesbury Vale Academy, as the admission authority, is now consulting on proposed changes to the Admissions Policy, which will come into effect from September 2028. The proposed changes are to section 13 of the policy - Admission Arrangements to the Aylesbury Vale Academy Sixth Form. 

Consultation period: 9 November 2026 to 21 December 2026

If you wish to comment on the policy, please email admissions@theacademy.me with "Admissions Consultation" in the subject line. Alternatively, send any letters to the address below, labelled "Admissions Consultation".
