We’re consulting on some changes to our admission arrangements. The consultation runs from 19 November 2018 to 6 January 2019. The final admission arrangements will be determined by 28th February 2019 and published by 15th March 2019.
Following advice issued by the DfE on 6 August 2018 all schools are strongly advised to consult on proposals to give second highest priority to “children previously looked after by the state abroad”.
As a result of this latest DfE advice, we're proposing the following changes to our admission arrangements for 2020/21:
· to amend the definition of “Rule 2 – exceptional social and medical reasons to attend a specific school” to include children previously looked after by the state abroad
