PROPOSED CHANGE TO ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2025-26

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust recently consulted on a proposed change to the admission arrangements for Belleville Primary School for 2025-26.

The Trust is proposing to amend the current admission criterion giving priority to children who have a sibling at the school at the date of admission, to remove the requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. Our hope is that this change will support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand. Our consultation closed on 31st January 2024. The trust board will consider all responses before making a decision by the end of February. 

You can download our consultation document for full details of the proposed change.
