Why Attendance Matters at Heritage MAT

Admissions at Heritage MAT Schools

At Heritage Multi Academy Trust, we believe in empowering our schools to serve their communities in the most effective and responsive way. That's why each school within the Trust manages its own admissions process independently, while aligning with the Trust's shared values of inclusivity, transparency, and fairness.

How Admissions Work

Each school in Heritage MAT:

Shares a common admissions criteria (and oversubscription criteria) in line with national guidance and local authority policies.
Manages its own application process, including open days, school visits, information sharing, and communication with families.
Works closely with local authorities to ensure a smooth and coordinated admissions experience for parents and carers.

This approach allows schools to:

Respond to the specific needs of their local community
Maintain their unique identity and ethos
Ensure fairness and clarity for all applicants

What This Means for Families

You'll apply directly to the school or via your local authority, depending on the phase and location.
Each school will provide clear guidance on our admissions criteria, deadlines, and procedures.
You'll receive support from the school throughout the process, including opportunities to visit and ask questions.
