Overview

Redbridge is undertaking a consultation on our admission arrangements for community schools, for the existing arrangements to be reviewed and updated for the 2026-2027 academic year.

The proposed change upon which consultation is also taking place is as follows:

  • Reducing the Published Admission Number from 90 to 60 at Woodlands Primary School.
  • Each local authority must have a Fair Access Protocol to ensure that unplaced and vulnerable children, and those who are having difficulty in securing a school place in-year, are allocated a school place as quickly as possible.

  • Fair Access Protocol 2026-2027


Why We Are Consulting

Anyone with an interest in education, such as parents, community groups or schools may like to comment on the arrangements and the proposed change to them.

All observations are welcomed and comments can be made through this online consultation, or sent by e-mail to admissions@redbridge.gov.uk under the title “Response to Admissions Consultation 2026-2027”.

The consultation will be live online for 6 weeks from Monday 02 December 2024 at 00:01. The deadline for comments is Monday 13 January 2025 at 23:59.

This will enable any observations to be considered by the Authority's Cabinet at its meeting in early 2025, before it decides the final admission arrangements.

Please note that Redbridge schools that are responsible for their own admissions may also be consulting on admissions for their own schools if they propose any changes to their arrangements or have not consulted in the last 7 years. This includes all voluntary aided faith schools, foundation schools and academies, including free schools. Schools can only change their arrangements if they consult, so without consultation they must remain unchanged.
