Admissions Consultations

In line with the School Admissions Code, City of York Council hold a coordinated admission consultation on behalf of schools within York and the School Admission Authorities. Where a school is part of a Multi Academy Trust, the Trust is the Admission Authority and not City of York Council.

 

CYC Coordinated Admissions Consultation 2027 to 2028
This year’s Admissions Consultation was held by City of York Council and involved a number of Academy Trusts with schools within the city. The consultation ran between 8th October and 21st November 2025.  The consultation included the admission policies and planned number of places available at each participating school/MAT in the year(s) of entry 2027-2028. For more information please see www.york.gov.uk/admissionsconsultation.

 

Any comments received regarding a Multi Academy Trust policy or PAN change will be forwarded to the relevant Trust, who are their own admission authority, to consider within their own admission consultation or determination. Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.

 

Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2027-2028 by 28th February 2026.  Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15th March 2026, after which objections can be raised. All documents can be found in their draft (pre-determined) form at: www.york.gov.uk/admissionsconsultation 

 

Determined policies for the 2026-27 year can be found at: https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissionPolicies
