RECENT CONSULTATION

 

PROPOSED CHANGE TO ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2025-26

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust recently consulted on a proposed change to the admission arrangements for Belleville Primary School, Belleville Wix Academy and The Alton School for 2025-26. The Trust is proposing to amend the current admission criterion giving priority to children who have a sibling at the school at the date of admission, to remove the requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. Our hope is that this change will support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand. Full details of the proposed change acan be found on the relevant school webpages for Belleville, Belleville Wix and The Alton. The consultation closed on 31st January 2024. The trust board will consider all responses and make a decision by the end of February 2024. 

 

PREVIOUS CONSULTATION

 

Wandsworth Local Authority have been reviewing the availability of school places for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). They have identified specific groups of children whose needs cannot be met through a local school offer, notably those on the autism spectrum with associated learning difficulties. The Q1E trust consulted in Autumn 2023 on a proposal to re-designate The Alton School's resource base, in order to support the local authority and to meet the needs of more children in our community.
