Agenda item

The Cabinet considered the School Admissions policy for community and voluntary controlled schools for the academic year 2020/21. The details were given in the agenda and in the appendices. The Cabinet Member for Education and Skills introduced the report.

It was explained that the proposal included items of significant change so had been brought to Cabinet rather than being dealt with as a Cabinet Member Decision.

The Cabinet felt that the proposed changes to the admissions criteria and the co-ordination of in-year admissions was sensible and fair.
