Thank you for your support on this petition. The consultation closed today (Tuesday 16 December) at 9am and it was incredible to be able to respond to that citing the 920+ (at time of submission) signatures to this.

The close of the consultation also coincided with this coverage in the local press: https://enfielddispatch.co.uk/petition-against-southgate-academys-new-admissions-policy-signed-by-900-people

But keep those signatures coming and keep promoting this cause. Ashmole Academy has until the end of February to make its final decision on its 2027 admissions policy and has to publish the policy for the 2027 intake by mid-March 2026.

This petition is a vital way to show opposition to the proposal and bring pressure on Ashmole Academy to take consideration of the points made here as it makes a final decision.

Thank you.
