Minutes:

Councillor Roberts introduced the report which advised on the outcome of the statutory consultation exercise on the admission arrangements for 2023/24 for approval.

 

In accordance with the School Admissions Code, the local authority was required to undertake a statutory consultation exercise on its admission arrangements for the following year.  Consultation must be complete by 1st March and the admission arrangements must be determined by 15th April each year.  Statutory consultees included all schools in the area, the diocesan authorities and neighbouring authorities.

 

The current admission arrangements had been in place since 2003 and the majority of parental preferences continued to be met.  The number of admission appeals in recent years were outlined in the report.

 

The consultation process took place between 05.01.22 and 04.02.22 and no comments were received.  There were no changes proposed to the admission arrangements.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the proposed admission arrangements for 2023/24 be approved.
