The Admissions Review was a City-wide consultation which asked whether the current admission arrangements were still supported and were still fit for purpose. There continues to be a high level of support for the current arrangements and the current arrangements continue to deliver a high level of preferences met.
For the 2022 intakes for example a total of 92.9% were offered their first preference primary schools compared to a national average 92.2% and 86.96% offered a preferred secondary school compared to a national average of 83.3% |
