JOINING THE AVANTI
family
The Academy’s Admissions Policy reflects the fact that the Academy is an inclusive school that brings together families from all backgrounds, and makes an important contribution to community cohesion. It aims to serve the whole community and is committed to bringing people together from different cultural, religious and social backgrounds.
There is one point of admission at rising 5 only. Once a child has been allocated a place at rising 5 that child will be guaranteed a place throughout the school. The Academy is its own Admission Authority and is responsible for all in year transfers. The Local Education Authority coordinates admissions for Year R.
If you wish to apply for a place at the Academy for any time other than the standard September reception point of entry, please contact the school via email avantipark@avanti.org.uk

Admissions & Significant Change Consultations
Avanti Park School Consultation on Significant Change
Avanti Schools Trust is proposing a significant change to Avanti Park School: to remove Key Stage 3 provision (Years 7 and 8) from September 2027. This would mean Avanti Park becomes a primary school for pupils aged 4–11 only.
The Department for Education requires a public consultation before any significant change is approved. Your views are important and will help us shape the future of Avanti Park. We will consult with a wide range of stakeholders, including parents, carers, local schools, the local authority, and the wider community.
How to respond
Please share your feedback at this link
If you require the consultation in another language or an alternative format, please contact us at: avanti.park@avanti.org.uk
The consultation period will run from Wednesday 3 December 2025 to Wednesday 24 December 2025.
