Kellington Primary School is part of Yorkshire Learning Trust (YLT), which is the admission authority for this school. Applications are processed by the admissions team at the North Yorkshire Council. If you need any support in accessing school admissions please contact the Admin team at the school, who can help guide you through the process. .

It is very important when choosing a school to look around and have the opportunity to ask questions which are important to you and your child.  We warmly encourage such visits and parents/carers wishing to visit our school are invited to telephone the school office to arrange a suitable time.

Consultation on Yorkshire Learning Trust schools’ admission arrangements 2028/29

Proposed change to admission arrangements for Archbishop of York Church of England Junior School

Admission authorities have a statutory duty to consult on admission arrangements every 7 years or when making changes to their admission arrangements.

As the admission authority for Archbishop of York Church of England Junior School (AYJS), Yorkshire Learning Trust (YL) is consulting on the admission arrangements because we are proposing a change to the school's Published Admission Number (PAN) from 45 pupils to 30 pupils for 2028/29. Accordingly, the Trust is undertaking a formal consultation before determining the admission arrangements. There are no changes proposed to admission arrangements for any other schools in the Trust.

The PAN is the number of pupils that will be admitted into the school's intake year. The proposed reduction for AYJS reflects local circumstances, including bringing the PAN in line with that of the local infant school and taking into account pupil numbers in the area, and is intended to support the effective planning and delivery of education provision.

We welcome comments from parents, carers, schools, local authorities and other interested parties on this proposal.

The consultation opens on 12 October 2026 and closes on 24 November 2026. During this period, the views of parents/carers, schools, staff, neighbouring authorities and other interested parties are being sought.

Following this period of consultation, the admission arrangements will be considered by the YLT Trust Board alongside any comments made. The admission arrangements will be determined by 28 February 2027. Determined policies will be on the YLT website by 15 March 2027.

How to submit any comments

Please see the Admissions section on https://www.ylt.org.uk/policies for documents found in their draft (pre-determined) form, and for the determined policies for 2026-27 and 2027-28.

Responses are being collated via email. Schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. If you wish to provide feedback on the PAN reduction, please email clerktogovs@ylt.org.uk

Paper copies of the arrangements can be requested from Rachel Greenhalgh at clerktogovs@ylt.org.uk. 

The consultation closes on 24 November 2026.
