Admissions and FAQ's
Redfield Educate Together Primary, part of Educate Together Academy Trust, are consulting on their proposed admission arrangements for the 2026-27 school year and beyond.
This public consultation is to ensure all ETAT schools are operating to the same admissions criteria, in accordance with our equality principles in addition to complying with the Admissions Code 2014 requirement for consultation when changes are proposed. The Trust believe the new policy, presented in this consultation, provides fair access to our schools and clarifies the Trust’s position without making significant changes to our existing policy.
Included in the consultation are parents and families at the school, staff and the Local Governing Board, parents at local nurseries and surrounding schools. Swindon Borough Council will also be invited to comment.
The consultation opened on Monday 2nd December 2024 and will run until 20th January 2025.
