Admission Policy 26-27: consultation report
Background
Halley House School is a one-form entry primary free school which opened in 2015 to serve the community of Hackney. The school was opened when there was a shortage of primary school places in the borough, and has been popular ever since.
Bellevue Place Education Trust (BPET), as the owner and manager of Halley House School is its Admissions Authority. Halley House School is situated in the London Borough of Hackney.
In accordance with the School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co-ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012, admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes during that period.
There are no changes to the policy we have outlined; however, as 7 years went past since our last consultation (2019-2020), we undertook this process and ran the consultation between the 4 November 2024 and 15 December 2024 (six weeks).
See the consultation launch article.
Who was consulted
The proposal was set out in agreement with the local authority of the London Borough of Hackney. The proposed changes and consultation papers were sent to:
- Parents and/or carers of children currently at the school
- School staff and Local Governing Board members

- Then London Borough of Hackney network of education stakeholders (nurseries, primary and secondary schools).
Responses
Responses in writing by post or email were invited until 16 December 2024.
No responses or feedback were received by the school, or the Local Authority.
Conclusion
The results of this consultation - no changes to the current policy - will be sent to the trustees of Bellevue Place Education Trust. The next BPET Board meeting will take place on 11th March 2025, where the admission policy is expected to be approved.
