Background:

This report provided details of the outcome of consultation on the

co-ordinated admission schemes and arrangements for primary and secondary schools for September 2018.

The proposed changes to primary and secondary admissions were set out in paragraph 3 of the report. As at the closing date (18 November 2016), three responses had been received on the consultations all of which agreed with the proposed co-ordinated schemes.

The Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered this report on 6 December 2016 and its comments were set out in paragraph 7 of the report.

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been undertaken on the proposals as set out in Appendix 2 to the report.

In addition, the report stated that it was intended that a further consultation would take place in early 2017 to ascertain views on proposals for the future administration and processing of in-year admissions.

Reasons:

The Council is required to undertake a detailed consultation exercise prior to the determination of its school admission arrangements and schemes. The decisions take into account the responses from consultation.
