Statutory Consultation Period: 3 November to 15 December (six weeks)

This letter serves as formal notification that The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust, as the Admissions Authority for Peterbrook Primary School, is conducting a statutory consultation on the proposed Admissions Policy for the academic year 2027/2028.

Reason for Consultation

The school joined the Elliot Foundation Academy Trust in the last academic year. To ensure legal compliance and standardisation across our Trust, we are therefore now required to formally consult on adopting their standardised Admissions Policy.

We seek to ensure that local stakeholders, including yourselves, have the opportunity to review and comment on all aspects of the policy.

Policy and Consultation Details

For the full draft Admissions Policies (2027/2028) please follow the link:

https://elliotfoundation.co.uk/initiatives/admissions-consultation. The main difference in the TEFAT policy versus the previously adopted local authority policy is that TEFAT does not recognise a catchment area in its oversubscription criteria, rather it uses a simple measure of distance from the school site.

How to Respond

We welcome comments and feedback from all statutory consultees. All responses must be submitted in writing and must be received no later than 4:00pm on 15th December 2025.

Please submit all formal consultation responses via email to office@elliotfoundation.co.uk. 

All responses will be carefully considered by the Trust Board before the policy is formally determined by 31 January 2026.

Thank you for participating in this statutory consultation process.
