Report on a proposal to change the admission arrangements- catchment area of Downham Market Academy effective from 1 September 2026.

This report considers the consultation undertaken by Eastern Learning Alliance for Downham Market Academy in conjunction with Norfolk County Council.

A joint proposal was initiated in response to the recent annual admission rounds. There have been significant issues for children living within the catchment area of Downham Market Academy not being offered places at their local school.  This has been particularly evident for those living in the areas furthest from the Academy.
