Admissions Arrangements Consultation for 2024-2025
The Board of Trustees at Exceed Academies Trust, as the admissions authority,intends to determine (set and approve) the following admissions policy arrangements for entry into all mainstream schools within the Trust during the academic year September 2024 to July 2025.
This statutory consultation includes a proposed reduction in the primary published admission number (PAN) for Appleton Academy with effect from September 2024. The Trust Board propose to reduce the Published Admission Number of the primary age phase of the school from 60 to 50 with effect from September 2024. No pupil that already has a place in the school will be affected by the change and no changes are proposed to the PAN of the secondary year groups which will remain as 180 pupils.Further details around the reasoning for this proposal can be accessed at Exceed Academies Trust – Admissions Arrangements Consultation for 2024-2025 or by clicking here.

This Trust policy will replace individual school policies; however, there is no change to the way parents/carers apply for a place. There is a minor change to the oversubscription criteria for some schools to align this across the Trust; details of this are provided below. Details of how these changes will affect Appleton Academy are as follows::
