OCTOBER 2024 - Admissions Consultation

We are consulting on our planned admissions arrangements for pupils applying for places in the academic year beginning September 2026. The consultation will run for 6 weeks from 25th October 2024 to 6th December 2024. Please refer to document 1 linked below. Further info can be found by visiting the Admissions section of the ACET website: www.astoncetrust.org

If you wish to raise any points about the admission arrangements, then please email us at: - contactus@astoncetrust.org

Please ensure that, if you want to share your views, you do so by 6th December 2024. After this date, the Local Governing Board will review all feedback to inform their decision on the school’s admission arrangements. Arrangements will be published on the school website by 15th March 2025.

We are delighted that you are considering applying for a place at Brookfield Junior Academy. 

Aston Community Education Trust is the admission authority for the academy and is responsible for determining its admission arrangements. The Trust has determined that all admissions will be co-ordinated through the Local Authority's co-ordinated admission arrangements. 

Therefore, applications for places at Brookfield Junior Academy will need to be made in accordance with the statutory Admission Code and will be made on the Common Application Form provided and administered by the Local Authority on behalf of Brookfield Junior Academy. 

The Authority has determined co-ordinated admission schemes as required by law for the next academic year. This means that a parent/carer completes the Common Application Form expressing up to three preferences and the Authority liaises with schools and other Local Authorities on their behalf. 

The Local Authority will inform the parent of the outcome of their application, including the reason for the refusal and information on the appeals process if a place is refused at any of their preferred schools. 

The Local Authority will communicate the outcome of individual applications to parents/carers on our behalf on the National Offer Day.
