Our proposal
Eastern Learning Alliance in conjunction with Norfolk County Council are proposing to change the admissions arrangements by altering the catchment area of Downham Market Academy, effective from September 2026.
In addition to this change Eastern Learning Alliance is also proposing to change their over-subscription criteria and process in year applications by the school. Further updates have been made to the policy in line with the admissions code.
