Admissions Arrangements for 2024-25 Entry
Inline with the School Admissions Code 2021, we participate in the City of York Council coordinated admission consultation. The consultation took place between Monday 3 October and Sunday 13 November. The consultation has now closed. During the consultation period, the draft admissions policies, published admission numbers and related documents for Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust’s schools advise how admissions applications and decisions will be made for the 2024 to 2025 school year. Any feedback from the consultation will be considered by the Trust as the Admission Authority.
The admission arrangements for 2024-25 were formally determined by the Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust Board in February 2023. Copies of the admission policies and related documents for all Pathfinder schools can be found below:
