Consultation on the Admission arrangements 2022/23 of The Astley Cooper School

In accordance with the requirement of the School Admissions Code, The Astley Cooper School is consulting on their admission arrangements for the academic year 2022/23. 

The consultation will run for six weeks commencing on 26 October 2020 and closing on Friday 6 December.

Main rationale for the consultation:

  • According to the Schools Admissions Code we are required to consult every seven years

The proposed Admissions Policy and Procedures document is attached below.  Although we are consulting, we will not be changing our admissions process and will continue to be managed by HCC

Yours faithfully

Mr R Tucker

Chair of Governors
