Policy consultations

Relationships and sex education (RSE)

As a result of the government's changes to the requirements for RSE in primary schools, we redeveloped our curriculum to ensure it met the new requirements as well as the needs of our pupils. We consulted on these changes in 2020-21. Many thanks to those parents and carers who contributed. Our new policy (including an overview of the curriculum) can be found in the list above. 

Admissions

In order to support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand, we consulted last year on a change to the admission arrangements for Belleville Primary School, Belleville Wix Academy and The Alton School, to remove the previous requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. The Trust has since made this change, for reception entry in September 2025 and beyond. 

In order to enable the children of our staff to attend our schools, we previously consulted with parents and other stakeholders on changing the admission arrangements for Churchfields Primary School and Belleville Wix Academy during the 2019-20 academic year, The Alton School in 2018-19 and Belleville Primary School in 2017-18. This is a change that many schools have made in order to support the work-life balance of their staff team, and improve staff recruitment and retention.
