Admissions Policy Consultation

Consultation on The Sigma Trust Admission Arrangements 2026/2027

The Sigma Trust has recently conducted a consultation on the 2026/27 admissions policy for Monkwick Junior School.

The consultation period began on Friday, 20 December 2024 and ended on Friday, 31 January 2025. During that time, parents/interested parties were invited to express their views and any concerns about the proposed changes to the admission arrangements at Monkwick Junior School. Following the consultation, the admission policy has been formally determined by the Trustees and Trustees have agreed a reduction in the Published Admission Number (PAN) from 60 to 30 pupils for admissions into Year 3 in September 2026 for the 2026/2027 academic year only.
