8.1 |
The Executive Director, People Services, submitted reports and commented upon two cases where parents had expressed a wish for their children to be admitted to secondary schools of their choice. The Executive Director stated that places in secondary schools had been identified by the City Council, in accordance with the published admission criteria, and it had been agreed that the Executive Director would provisionally allocate places at those schools where there were places available, up to the standard number/admission limit. The Executive Director stated that Case No.2 had been withdrawn from consideration prior to the meeting as the child had been placed prior to the hearing. The Committee was therefore requested to consider prioritising the pupil in Case No.1 on the waiting list, within their respective category, for admission if and when places become available. |
