Minutes:

5.1

The Committee noted that, since its last meeting, and following receipt of further evidence that had been requested from the appellants in respect of five cases with regard to Primary School Admissions, the Executive Director, People Services, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee, under powers delegated to him had determined that:-

 

 

 

(a)      two pupils be prioritised within their admissions category of “catchment” prior to the allocation of places, and that they be placed first and second on the waiting list respectively, on the grounds that there are exceptional family and medical circumstances (Case Nos. G1 and G2);   

 

 

 

(b)      one pupil be prioritised within the admissions category of “non-catchment” prior to the allocation of places, on the grounds that there are exceptional family circumstances (Case No. W1);

 

 

 

(c)      one pupil be prioritised within the admissions category of “sibling” prior to the allocation of places, on the grounds that there are exceptional family circumstances (Case No. NE1); and

 

 

 

(d)      one pupil be not prioritised on the “non-catchment” waiting list, as there were no exceptional circumstances demonstrated (Case Nos. B1).
