In line with the School Admissions Code, The Maplesden Noakes School is formally consulting with admissions authorities, diocesan boards, parent groups and parent/guardians of children aged between 2 and 18 who live in the area. They are being asked about proposed admission arrangements for the 2023/24 school year.

Given the challenges schools face with the labour market in England, in order to assist with recruitment and retention, the school is proposing that children of staff permanently employed at the school are given the opportunity to attend The Maplesden Noakes School.  The proposed Admission Policy is available to view here.

The school must consult for a period of no less than six weeks. Consultation will be between  10^th December 2021 and 21^st January 2022. If you wish to give feedback, please complete the Admissions Consultation Feedback Form Responses should be received by 12.00pm on Friday 21^st January 2022.

Alternatively you can write to Heidi Lishman, Clerk to the Governing Body at this address:

Maplesden Noakes School
Buckland Road
Maidstone
Kent   ME16 0TJ

What happens next?

After the closing date the responses will be collated. The outcome of the consultation will be shared with the governing body of the school which will then be responsible for determining the admission arrangements. The admission arrangements will then be published on the school website.
