School admission arrangements public consultation

We’re asking for your views on proposed changes to school admission arrangements in the city from September 2026.

The aim of the proposals relating to community secondary schools is to further improve equality and fairness across the city’s schools. At present, some catchment areas include only one maintained school while others include more than one. The proposal aims to introduce better equity of choice.

Information about the proposals is included throughout the survey. If you'd like to see full details of the proposals and consultation, please take a look at the background information phase below.

These proposals are informed by the results of an engagement exercise held in October 2024.

Have your say

We are seeking views from pupils, parents and carers, school staff and governors and the communities in and around Brighton & Hove.

Your feedback is vital in helping us understand the potential impacts of the proposal and inform the decision making process.

Have your say until Friday 31 January 2025.

Come along to an event

In addition to the online survey, we're holding a series of events which are open to everyone who'd like to attend.

Please book your place to let us know you're coming.

Any additional public events will be listed in the events section.
