University Academy Holbeach, part of University of Lincoln Academy Trust, is undertaking a statutory consultation on its proposed admission arrangements for the 2027/28 academic year.
Under the School Admissions Code (2021), schools must consult on their admission arrangements at least once every seven years or whenever changes are proposed. This consultation will run for six weeks, from 18th December 2025 to 29th January 2026. The consultation gives parents, carers, staff, local schools, and other members of the community the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed changes to the academy’s admission arrangements. All responses will be carefully considered by the Board of Trustees before the final arrangements are confirmed and published in line with statutory requirements.
