Consultation on proposed Admission Arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools
Overview
All schools must have admission arrangements that set out clearly how children will be admitted to schools. Admission arrangements must include the criteria that will be applied if there are more applications for a school than there are places available. Northumberland County Council is the admission authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in Northumberland.
Why are we consulting?
The Admissions Code 2014 requires admission authorities to consult on their admission arrangements once every seven years even if there are no changes proposed. This consultation will apply to the admission arrangements for entry into schools in September 2018.
Who are we consulting?
Relevant consultees include parents of children aged 2 to 18, all schools (including other Admission Authorities) in Northumberland, pre-school settings, neighbouring local authorities and local dioceses.
A six week consultation is now open and runs from now until 21 December 2016.
Following the outcomes of consultation, the admission arrangements for 2018/19 for community and voluntary schools will be finalised by the Council in February 2017.
