This report provided details of the scheme on how the Council would co-ordinate applications to schools, and the arrangements on the detailed entry arrangements to community and voluntary controlled schools. This included a scheme for coordinating in-year admission arrangements, which had been developed for 2010/2011 to meet the requirement of the Co-ordination Regulations 2007.
The report provided details of the consultation process undertaken concerning the arrangements and schemes which ran from 15 December 2009 to 9 February 2010 in accordance with the requirements of the Schools Admissions Code to consult for a minimum of 8 weeks.
The proposals had also been considered by the Children and Adults Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 11 February 2010 and its comments were set out in paragraph 5 of the report.
