Reminder to all own admission authority schools – Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools only (the LA as the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools undertakes this task)
The School Admissions Code (2014) stipulates that your governing body are statutorily required to meet and determine your admission arrangements by no later than 28 February 2017. There is no flexibility on this date under the provisions of the Code.
If you have not consulted because the arrangements have not changed you must still minute that the governing body have determined the admission arrangements and in all cases the LA must receive a copy of your arrangements to be posted on our website by 15 March 2017. The School Admissions Code (2014) also says you must publish a copy og your determined arrangements on your website displaying them for the whole offer year (the school year in which offers for places are made).
Please send a copy of your determined admission arrangements as soon possible to Taj Buljhoo and no later than Friday 3 March 2017. Schools who have not provided a copy of their determined arrangements will be contacted by phone in the week commencing 6 March 2017.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions about the determination process.
