Dear Headteacher and Chair of Governors,
RE: Admission arrangements for entry in September 2018
This information is for Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools only. (It is copied to community and voluntary controlled schools for information only, as the LA, as your admitting authority, undertakes this task for community and voluntary controlled schools.)
Consultation on admission arrangements for entry in September 2018
I am writing to all governing bodies of own admitting authority schools (Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools) to ask if your governing body is intending to consult on your admission arrangements for entry in September 2018.
You are only required to consult for entry in September 2018 if you propose to change the arrangements your governing body determined for entry in September 2017.
If you are going to consult, your proposed arrangements must be in the public domain for a minimum of 6 weeks between 1 October 2016 and 31 January 2017.
If your governing body is going to consult, please let me know. I would be very happy to circulate your proposed admission arrangements on behalf of your governing body. Please indicate this in your email.
I would be grateful if you could contact me by Friday 30 September 2016.
Determining your admissions arrangements for entry in September 2018 (even if you have not consulted this year)
Your governing body must meet again to determine your arrangements by 28 February 2017.
If you have not consulted because the arrangements have not changed you must still minute that the governing body have determined the admissions arrangements for entry in September 2018 and in all cases I must receive a copy of your arrangements to be posted on our website on 15 March 2017.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions about the consultation process.
Many thanks,
Carlo Kodsi, School Admissions Team Leader
