Admissions Appeal

The Admissions Appeals process for Equals Trust schools engages Nottinghamshire County Council’s Independent Appeals Panel.  None of the members who sit on the panels have any connection to Equals Trust schools.  Their decision is independent and final.

The cost of any Admissions Appeals is charged to the school and comes out of their allocated budget.

Consultation on School Admission Arrangements for 2028–29

Equals Trust is consulting on its proposed school admission arrangements for September 2028.

These arrangements explain how school places are allocated, including catchment areas, sibling priority and what happens when more children apply than there are places available.

There are no significant changes proposed to the admission priority criteria. The consultation includes a proposed reduction in places at Wadsworth Fields Primary School and the inclusion of Orston Primary School in the Trust-wide arrangements.

The consultation runs from 2 November to 21 December 2026, and parents and carers are welcome to share their views.

You can read both the consultation summary and the full proposed arrangements here:
