  1. The Reception Year at all primary and infant schools

  2. Year 3 in all junior schools

  3. Year 7 in all secondary schools

  4. Year 12 in secondary schools with post-16 provision

The admission arrangements for other schools which are not community or voluntary controlled schools are determined by their respective governing bodies or academy trusts. Copies of the determined admission arrangements for these Schools and Academies are available from the individual schools.

Determination of the admission arrangements at schools maintained by the Authority were made following consultation, as set out in The School Admissions Code and relevant legislation. Copies of the determined admission arrangements are available for inspection at:

Any person or body can object to the admission arrangements, where they provide their name and address, by writing to the school adjudicator, except where:

(a) the objection seeks, in substance, an alteration to admission arrangements for a grammar school;

(b) the objection seeks, in substance, to remove selection from a selective Academy;

(c) the objection relates to a non-increase in admission number for a school for which the local authority is not the admissions authority;

(d) the objection relates to a non-increase in admission number for a community or voluntary controlled school, except where the objection is by the governing body of that school

(e) the objection relates to an existing agreement for the admissions arrangements of an Academy to vary from the School Admissions Code

(f) the adjudicator has, within the last 2 years, made a decision to an objection to the admission arrangements of a school or Academy, and where any new objection referred to the adjudicator raises the same or substantially the same issues in relation to those admission arrangements.
