Consultation on admission arrangements 2028/29
When a consultation should take place
Every school and academy will have admission arrangements in place which sets out how applicants are considered for a school place. If there are more applications than places available at a school or academy, the admission criteria they use will decide the order of priority.
If a school or academy decide they want to change how they offer their places, the law requires that they carry out a consultation a year before they are due to change.
Consultations that will be shown on this page and will apply to children that will be due to start either reception or Year 7 or secondary school from September 2028. The period of consultation must take place for 6 weeks or more and end by 31 January 2027.
A consultation process allows any concerns about the changes to be raised. The law expects schools/academies to bring their consultation to the attention of:
- parents of children between the ages of two and eighteen
- other persons in the area who have an interest in the proposed arrangements
- all other school/academies within the local area
- the local authority (Kensington and Chelsea)
- any neighbouring local authorities
- any relevant faith bodies, for example the local diocese

Pan-London coordinated schemes
The Pan-London Admission System coordinates applications to all state-funded primary and secondary schools across Greater London and surrounding counties. Parents/carers can apply up to six schools in any area using one form and list their chosen schools in order or preference. Schools will then consider each application against their published admission criteria with no knowledge of the parent/carer preference order.
The coordinated system will eliminate preferences until it reaches the highest potential offer that can be made on the National Offer Day. The system has substantially reduced the number of children that receive multiple offers or no offer at all.
