Consultation on proposed amendments to the College Admissions Policy with the addition of a new primary school to be included under category 5 of our admission arrangements:

Crookhorn College is a Foundation school and therefore its own admission authority. When an admission authority wishes to make changes to admission arrangements, they must consult to ensure all views are heard.

The Governors of Crookhorn College are embarking on such a consultation process for its Admissions Policy for the September 2026 Year 7 intake, and I am writing to invite you to participate in this consultation.

This consultation runs for a period of six weeks from 28^th October 2024 until 8^th December 2024.

While the majority of the policy remains unchanged from the current version, there is a proposed addition to the schools named under category 5 to include the currently unnamed school being built to the west of Waterlooville which is due to open in September 2025 –

5. Children who attend one of our linked primary schools within the Local Authority’s designated catchment area for Crookhorn College: Berewood Primary School, Mill Hill Primary School, Padnell Junior School, Queens Inclosure Primary School, Springwood Junior School or (Name to Be Confirmed) Primary School.

A copy of the proposed new Admissions Policy, to be implemented for admissions in the academic year of 2026/27 and beyond, is attached. Paper copies are available to be sent on either written request, by telephoning 02392 251120 or emailing admin@crookhorn.hants.sch.uk.

If you wish to make any comments regarding the changes, please send them to Mrs. Sally Duncan, Clerk to the Governors at the above address or email clerk@crookhorn.hants.sch.uk, to be received no later than 8^th December 2024.
