Admission Policies Consultation 2025

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust (FPMAT) is a multi academy trust with 8 academies within the Coventry City and Warwickshire local authority areas.

Legally, FPMAT is the Admissions Authority for all its member academies and has developed Admission Arrangements which ensures all academies within the Trust have a unified approach to admissions whilst ensuring the individual character of each academy is maintained.

All state-funded schools have a set of admissions rules, published admission number and oversubscription criteria to help them process school applications consistently, transparently and fairly in accordance with the 2021 School Admissions Code.

The Trust is consulting on all Admissions Policies as is required to be done at least every 7 years. There are also specific proposals in relation to:

  • Amendment to oversubscription criteria for Meadow Park School only
  • New policy in line with other FPMAT primary schools, for Limbrick Wood Primary School only

Full details are given in the consultation document and policies.

The consultation runs from 21st November 2025 to 5th January 2026. We would like to hear what you think about the proposed admission arrangements for these academies. If you have any comments, queries or concerns about the school admission arrangements, please email j.waldron@finhamparkmat.co.uk

Any comments or queries can also be submitted via the consultation feedback form.

Feedback provided through the admission consultation will be treated confidentially and will be considered by the Trust Board in deciding the final arrangements.,
