Background:
This report provided details of the outcome of the consultation on the co-ordinated admission schemes and arrangements for primary and secondary schools.
The schemes set out how the Local Authority would co-ordinate the processing of applications to schools and set out the relevant entry arrangements (oversubscription criteria) for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools.
It was noted Academies, Voluntary Aided and Foundation schools undertook their own consultation on entry arrangements (oversubscription criteria), but had to co-ordinate with the Local Authority schemes.
The report also provided the outcome of consultation with regards to when the Medway Test will be delivered, together with the options considered for the primary and secondary admissions.
The Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered the report on 15 January 2013 and its comments were set out in paragraph 7 of the report.
