The Local Authority is responsible for setting admission arrangements for all Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. It must “Determine” and publish its admission arrangements every year. There is a requirement to consult on the arrangements once every seven years unless there are significant changes proposed.
The arrangements were consulted upon last year for the 2023/24 academic year. The key decision is to determine the Council’s Admission Arrangements for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools.
To consult on the admission arrangements for 2023/24 including any proposed reductions to admission numbers in line with the City wide strategy to manage falling pupil numbers at Reception age.
To ensure that the City Council is carrying out its statutory duty to determine its Admission Arrangements for 2023/24 by 28 February 2022.
