Consultation

School admissions consultation 2027/28


From
10/11/2025
Until
16/01/2026

Devon County Council is responsible for coordinating applications for school admission to all state-funded schools in its area. Find out more information about the process and how it works.

Arrangements have previously been determined for this year (2025/26) and for next year (2026/27). We are now consulting on arrangements for the following year, 2027/28.

We are not proposing any changes to Devon’s Education Transport Policy or Education Post-16 Transport Policy for 2026/29 although proposals to amend catchment areas may impact on transport eligibility. 

Proposed changes are tracked in red text within the documents.

The consultation includes:

  • Devon’s normal round co-ordination scheme – including how to apply for a place at the start of reception and at secondary transfer.
  • Devon’s in-year co-ordinated admissions scheme – how to apply for a place in any school year group that has already opened.
  • Devon’s fair access arrangements – what happens when children can’t access suitable education. No changes are proposed.
  • the admissions policies of all of Devon’s mainstream, state-funded schools and academies – how many places are available at each school and what happens when a school is oversubscribed.
  • the admissions policies of mainstream, state-funded academies in other local authority areas, supported by the Devon School Admissions Service.

This includes proposals which are open for consultation until 16 January 2026.  The consultation for schools within the Blackdown Education Partnership will be from 25 November.

You can view these proposed policies:

The catchment areas for schools are published here.

A list of all schools, their proposed Published Admission Number and the changes that are proposed is available here.

The consultation period takes place between 10 November 2025 and 16 January 2026.

All arrangements must comply with the Department for Education’s School Admissions Code. You can comment on any of the proposals by emailing schoolsadmissionpolicy-mailbox@devon.gov.uk or by writing to Admissions Policy Consultation, Room L60, County Hall, Exeter EX2 4QG or by email or letter to the school or schools you would like to comment on.

The admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools are proposed and determined by Devon County Council as the admissions authority. Voluntary aided, foundation, free schools and academies are their own admission authorities. Admission authorities must determine their arrangements by 28 February and publish them by 15 March 2026. We will publish all final policies as quickly as we can once we receive them.

You have until 15 May 2026 to contact the adjudicator if you have an objection.
