On Monday 3 October, the consultation will launch for the proposal to remove catchment areas and the associated catchment area priority for the Community Secondary Schools and non-faith academies in the borough. The changes, if adopted, would come into effect for applications for secondary school places for the academic year 2024/25 and would apply to all Community secondary schools and non-faith-based academies on behalf of their muti academy trusts. Full details will be on the website at www.bury.gov.uk/admissions and the consultation document is attached for your information. The consultation will run from 3 October through to 5 December.
