Formal consultation on Admissions Arrangements for academic year 2026/27

Haileybury Turnford is consulting on the proposed admissions arrangements for the school year 2026/27 and is seeking responses from parent/carers, schools and community groups.

The proposed change is to include Children of staff at the school as a criteria to prioritise applications if there are more applications than places available.  This will be Rule 4, which is shown in full below.

Rule 4 Children of staff at the school

Children of staff directly employed by the school on a permanent contract (full-time or part-time) who have been either:

1. employed by the school for a minimum of two years at the time of application
2. recruited to fill a vacant post at the school for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage

In either case, the member of staff must be the biological or adoptive parent of the child, or have legal parental responsibility for that child or (where the child is the child of the member of staff’s partner) must have lived with the child at the same address for at least two years prior to the date of application.

The proposed Admissions Policy can be viewed here: Admissions Policy September 2026 entry

The consultation period runs from 28th October – 8th December 2024. Please send your comments regarding the proposals to the school directly at enquiries@haileyburyturnford.com.  Your responses will be considered by the school when determining arrangements for academic year 2026/27.
