Consultation on proposed amendments to the College Admissions Policy with the addition of catchment area to the oversubscription criteria.

Crookhorn College is a Foundation school and therefore its own admission authority.  When an admission authority wishes to make changes to admission arrangements, they must consult to ensure all views are heard.

The Governors of Crookhorn College are embarking on such a consultation process for its Admissions Policy for the September 2027 Year 7 intake and I am writing to invite you to participate in this consultation.

This consultation runs for a period of six weeks from 27th October 2025 until the 8th December 2025.

While the majority of the policy remains unchanged from the current version, there is a proposed addition to the over subscription criteria to include catchment area.  This new criteria will be added to admissions arrangements as criteria 5 -   

5. Children living in the catchment area of Crookhorn College.  The catchment area is a geographical area from which children may be afforded priority for admission to a particular school.  A map of the school’s catchment area can be viewed here on the College’s details page on the Hampshire County Council website. To find out of your child’s address is in catchment, use https://maps.hants.gov.uk/SchoolCatchmentAreaFinder 

A copy of the proposed new Admissions Policy, to be implemented for admissions in the academic year of 2027/28 and beyond, is attached with amendments shown in bold.  Paper copies are available to be sent on either written request, by telephoning 02392 251120 or emailing admin@crookhorn.hants.sch.uk

If you wish to make any comments regarding the changes, please send them to Mrs. Sally Duncan, Clerk to the Governors at the above address or email clerk@crookhorn.hants.sch.uk, to be received no later than 8th December 2025.
