Consultation on Admissions Changes at Dixons Academies

Bradford schools seek views on new admissions priority

Bradford City Council has opened a consultation on proposed changes to the admissions arrangements for two local academies. The proposal aims to introduce priority for children with a particular aptitude for cricket at Dixons McMillan and Dixons Trinity academies.

Details of the proposed change

The consultation outlines a plan to reserve up to 10% of available places at each academy for applicants demonstrating a cricketing aptitude. This would be a new category of priority within the admissions criteria, designed to support talented young cricketers in the area.

Academies involved

• Dixons McMillan Academy
• Dixons Trinity Academy

Next steps

The consultation invites feedback from parents, carers, and other stakeholders before any changes are finalised. Details on how to respond to the consultation are available on the Bradford Schools Online website.

This proposed adjustment to admissions criteria reflects an effort to recognise and nurture sporting talent within the local school system. The consultation period provides an opportunity for the community to consider the implications of the change and contribute their views.
