Admission authorities (the local authority or the school's governing body/academy trust) must consult on their admission arrangements if they propose a change other than an increase to their published admission number. They must also consult if they have not consulted in the last seven years.
Consultation must take place for at least six weeks between 1 October and 31 January.

The school admissions consultation for community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2028 will run from Tuesday 6 October to Tuesday 17 November 2026 and can be found here: Consultation on the admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2028
Academies and foundation, free, trust and voluntary aided schools
The governing body or academy trust is responsible for consulting on the admission arrangements for academies and foundation, free, trust and voluntary aided schools. When this occurs, the details must be made available on each school's website. You can find a link to your school's website in the directory of Surrey schools.
