Admissions policies under consultation
Omega Multi-Academy Trust is currently consulting on the Admissions Policies for two of our schools, Westbrook Old Hall Primary School and Bradshaw Primary School. We invite feedback from all interested parties on the proposals detailed below:
Westbrook Old Hall Primary School - 2026/27 Admissions Policy
We are currently undertaking a consultation regarding a proposed reduction in our Published Admission Number (PAN) for the admissions year 2026/2027 (for children joining Reception Class in September 2026). This is due to a fall in primary school-aged children who reside in the West Warrington area. This proposed change is in-keeping with Warrington Borough Council's statutory responsibility for school place planning. The proposal seeks to reduce the PAN from 60 to 30, meaning the maximum number of pupils that the school will admit will be reduced. This lower number will then roll through the school in subsequent years. This consultation focuses solely on the proposed reduction in the PAN; no other areas of the admissions policy are under review at this time, so there are no changes to the oversubscription criteria. To view the proposed policy which includes the change in admission number, please see the policy below.
We welcome feedback from all stakeholders so please share your comments by completing this consultation form by 31st January 2025.
Westbrook Old Hall Primary School - In-year variation to the Published Admission Number (PAN) for the year 2025/2026
We are consulting on a proposed variation to the published Admissions Policy for the admission year 2025/2026 (for children joining Reception Class in September 2025). The proposal seeks to reduce the PAN from 60 to 30. This is due to a fall in primary school-aged children who reside in the area and the recent significant fall in the number of children on roll at the school. This proposed variation to the published admission number is also in-keeping with Warrington Borough Council's statutory responsibility for school place planning. This proposed change is subject to consultation and approval by the Department for Education.
We welcome feedback from all stakeholders so please share your comments by completing this consultation form by 31st January 2025.
