Admissions in SNMAT
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.
Right of Appeal
Under the terms of the School Admissions Appeals Code 2012, if you apply for and are refused a place at an SNMAT partner academy you have the right to appeal.
Admission Appeals at all SNMAT academies are managed by Nottinghamshire County Council, who provide an independent appeals process. If you decide that you wish to proceed with an appeal, you should within 20 school days of the date of the refusal letter complete the online form on Nottinghamshire County Council's website:
http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/education/school-admissions/making-a-school-admission-appeal
For parents/carers who are unable to use the online form, a printed form can requested from our customer contact centre – 0300 500 80 80.
Appeals at SNMAT academies will be heard by an Independent Appeals Panel in accordance with the School Admissions Code 2014, The School Admissions Appeals Code 2012 and Part 3 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.
Determined Admission Arrangements 2021- 2022
All admission authorities must determine admission arrangements by 28 February every year, even if they have not changed from previous years and a consultation has not been required.
The Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham Multi Academy Trust (SNMAT) determined its admission arrangements for all partner academies in the Trust on 11 February 2020.
St John’s C of E Academy
In response to concerns received during the consultation process, that removing St John’s catchment area would disadvantage children living in it and wishing to apply to the academy; the Trust has decided that St John’s will retain its catchment area and not change any of its oversubscription criteria for the 2021-22 admissions year.
Determined arrangements, SIFs and catchment maps (if applicable) can be found on the website of each partner academy.
Summary of changes agreed to the Trust’s 2021-22 admission arrangements
All partner academies in the Trust now have standardised admission arrangements and SIFs. This means that the text and definitions used the arrangements and SIFs are intended, wherever possible, to be the same. Only vision statements, oversubscription criteria and definitions of church commitment (if applicable) will be different.
