Admissions
Prosper Together Multi Academy Trust is the Admissions Authority for the Trust schools. The Admissions Policy for each school is subject to a statutory public consultation and conforms to the 2021 Schools Admissions Code and the law relating to school admissions.
We are committed to considering all applications fairly and equally.
Our admissions process is part of the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Local Authority co-ordinated scheme. Applicants must apply to their home Local Authority by the published closing date. Application forms are available from the Local Authority in the autumn before admission. Further information can be found at: https://www.solihull.gov.uk/Schools-and-learning/School-admissions.

In-Year Admissions
Solihull Council manages in-year admissions applications on behalf of the Trust. An in-year admission is at any time other than the normal point of intake.
Parents will have the opportunity to express up to three preferences, rank them in order and give a reason for that preference.
An application form is available for parents and comprehensive information is published on the Council’s website: https://www.solihull.gov.uk/Schools-and-learning/School-admissions
Parents will receive an outcome to their application within 15 days of submitting a completed application. An application will be deemed complete when all sections are filled, and associated information is received. If a place can be offered the child is expected to start within 6 school weeks. If a place cannot be offered at a preferred school parents will be given a reason for refusal and offered the right of appeal.
If a place cannot be offered at a preferred school, applications will be prioritised on the waiting list using the over-subscription criteria for the normal intake to that school for the current year: Admissions Policy September 2025-26
2027 Admissions Consultation
Prosper Together Multi Academy Trust has consulted on its admission arrangements for 2027-28. Please note that the Trust is proposing to make a change to Fordbridge Community Primary School Admissions Arrangements by varying the oversubscription criteria (please see section 4.3).
