Woldgate secondary school consultation response

*This consultation is now closed*

New proposed changes to Woldgate's admissions policy from 2024/2025 would mean that our primary school will become unfairly deprioritised in favour of giving places to pupils who are part of the Wolds Learning Partnership Multi-Trust Academy (which Woldgate school is a part of). If these changes were to go ahead, this could severely affect Sutton upon Derwent CE Primary School, and, along with it, the sustainability and desirability of the village of Sutton upon Derwent. We therefore urge all residents to have their say on this matter and respond to the consultation by 22nd January 2024. For further information, including how to respond/object, and to read the Parish Council's response to the consultation, please visit: http://www.suttonuponderwent.org.uk/woldgate-admissions-consultation-response.aspx
