City of York Council and some academy trusts within the city are inviting parents, carers and other interested parties to share their views on proposed school admission arrangements for the 2028–2029 academic year.
The consultation runs from 12 October to 24 November 2026.
Admission arrangements explain how school places are allocated, including how applications are prioritised when more children apply than there are places available. The consultation also includes the planned number of places available at each school in its year of entry.
This is your opportunity to read the draft proposals and give feedback before the arrangements are finalised. Taking part is optional and is separate from applying for a school place.
Visit the City of York Council website to read the draft documents and complete the parents, carers, stakeholders and interested parties survey:

Please submit your response by 24 November 2026.
Some academy trusts may also run their own consultations. Any comments submitted through the council’s consultation about an academy trust’s policy will be passed to the relevant trust for consideration.
Admission authorities will finalise their arrangements by 28 February 2027. The final policies will be available on the council’s website by 15 March 2027, after which objections can be raised.
