Reception 2027 Admission Consultation

Consultation on Proposed Admissions Policy for entry in September 2027

Malden Parochial Church of England Primary School is consulting on proposed changes to its Admissions Policy for September 2027. The consultation will run for six weeks, from 1 December 2025 to 12 January 2026.

Key proposed changes include:

Removal of criteria viii which gave priority to non-worshippers living in the parish over all families living outside the parish
Addition of criteria v and vii which give priority to families who are faithful and regular worshippers at St Johns and who live outside the parish boundary but close to the school (within a 1km radius of the main school gate).

Overall, the proposed changes seek to address the fact that due to the school's location at the very edge of the parish boundary, some families who live very close to the school but outside the parish boundary were being ranked comparatively lower than others who live some considerable distance away, including those with no connection to the church.

The full proposed policy is available below. Comments should be submitted by 12 January 2026 to clerk@maldenparochial.school. Feedback from parents, carers, and other stakeholders is welcomed.
