Ark Victoria Academy is now consulting on its admissions policy for September 2027 intake. The consultation will run from Thursday 4th December 2025 to Thursday 15th January 2026.
Proposed Changes
The draft policy is available via the link below, proposed changes are highlighted in yellow. Hard copies are also available on request at the contact details below.
We are proposing to reduce the Published Admissions Number (PAN) for Reception from 90 to 60, effective from September 2027. This change is in response to a sustained demographic decline within the local area. Aligning the PAN with projected local demand is a strategic measure to support the school’s long-term sustainability.

Next Steps
Once public consultation has closed, Ark Schools (the admissions authority for Ark Victoria Academy) will consider all feedback to the proposed admissions arrangements and make recommendations for final changes, where relevant. The final admissions arrangements will be determined by the Ark Schools Management Team before 28th February 2026 and published on the academy’s website.
