Consultation on proposed Admission Policy

In line with the statutory duty of admissions authorities to consult on Admissions Policies every seven years and to consult on any amendments to admissions arrangements, please find attached document:

• Proposed Ellesmere Port Catholic High School Admissions Policy for 2026-2027 which refers to admissions in September 2026 and onwards.

This is also available on the Ellesmere Port Catholic High School website. www.epchs.co.uk

Our Admissions Policy has been amended to reflect that of our Diocese (the Diocese of Shrewsbury) and contains some minor amendments to the Oversubscription criteria.

We have identified you as being a local stakeholder and therefore we invite you to comment on the proposals in the consultation period which will run for a 6-week period from, 26^th October 2024 to 6^th December 2024. Please forward any comments with the subject line Ellesmere Port Catholic High School consultation to sarah.hilton@epchs.co.uk

Please could I also ask all schools and academies to include a notification in their newsletters to inform parents and carers of the proposed changes.

Comments will be considered by the Governors of Ellesmere Port Catholic High School after the consultation period ends on 9^th December 2024 prior to determination and publication.

On behalf of Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Academy Trust.

Kind regards,

Mrs Sarah Hilton
