Other changes to our Admission Policy

For each of our academies, we have amended sections containing information about the admissions process to ensure that they are consistent across our academies and reflect current practices. In some cases, this includes removing some information which we are required to publish elsewhere, and providing information on how parents/carers can access the current information.
