The Cabinet noted the outcome of the consultation in section 8 of the report, agreed the amendments to the admissions arrangements for 2025, as set out in section 5 of the report and approved the admissions schemes for 2025, as set out at appendices 1 and 2 of the report. |
Reasons:
Approving the proposed admissions schemes ensures that the Council meets its statutory duty to comply with admissions legislation. The proposed changes will provide a fairer means of assessment for grammar school and will give more Medway children the opportunity to attend a Medway grammar school.
