Consultation around an amended enrolment scheme for Cotswold School is currently being conducted by the Ministry of Education.

Currently our home zone map is drawn to road boundaries and needs to be updated to land parcel boundaries to more precisely identify the properties that fall within our home zone. This will also clarify the home zone boundary for local residential development that is underway within our area.

Despite an objection from the Board, this amendment proposes to withdraw Hussey Road from the home zone to clarify local education pathways.

The written description will also be updated and the enrolment scheme wording will be updated to reflect the Education and Training Act 2020.

You can read about this proposal at https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/cotswold-school-enrolment-scheme-amendment/ and complete the survey to place your feedback.

All students who are currently enrolled before the amended enrolment scheme commences are entitled to remain enrolled. Any siblings of current students currently residing in the withdrawal area may be able to enrol at the school under the specific “additional entitlement to enrol” provision (this is also known as 'Grandparenting').

Please read all the information on the above website before placing your feedback.

Consultation closes on 08 July 2022.
