SNMAT 26/27 Admissions Round
Although admissions processes are currently devolved down to the local governing body at each partner academy, the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham Multi Academy Trust is its Own Admissions Authority. As the OAA, the Trust determines the admission arrangements for all partner academies within the MAT.
It is a requirement of the school admissions code that the OAA publish their arrangements on their website.
