Admissions
Consultation for Coastal Learning Partnership's admissions policy, 2025-2026
As the Admissions Authority for all schools within the Partnership, Coastal Learning Partnership is currently consulting on its admissions policy for 2025/26. The School Admissions Code requires admissions authorities to consult interested parties on their admissions policies whenever they are proposing a change. Consulting at this time is for any determined changes to take effect from September 2025. The draft policy for 2025/26 can be seen below, along with a letter describing the proposed changes and how to respond to the consultation.
Coastal Learning Partnership is the admissions authority for its member schools and, as such, admissions policies are determined by the Trust Board and in line with requirements of the Schools Admissions Code. Coastal Learning Partnership works closely with the relevant Local Authorities in the administration of its determined admissions policies.
From this page, you can access everything that you require to apply for a place at any school within the Partnership, including direct links to information with the relevant Local Authority. The appeals timetable can be found at the bottom of this page.
Start by clicking the school for which you are considering applying for a place.
For details regarding our schools' open events, please visit their individual websites. Regardless of any planned open events, our schools will always welcome individual enquiries and would be pleased to meet with prospective parents.
If you are applying for a place at one of our church schools and if the particular admissions policy includes faith criteria, you will need the Supplementary Information Form which can also be accessed via the links below.
