Admissions Consultation
Harris Primary Academy Orpington– Admissions Consultation
The Governing Body are consulting on admissions arrangements for students applying for places for the academic year beginning in September 2025. The consultation will run over 8 weeks from 13 November 2023 to 8th January 2024.
The Trust Board have developed a Trust wide template policy for use by all Harris Primary Academies to ensure consistency, clarity and compliance with the Admission’s Code. This may look different to previous policies, but we are simply setting out the new standard criteria clearly.
Proposed changes to the policy include a change to the number of pupils we would admit into each year group, reducing it from 60 to 30.
