Policy for Admission to Schools

Responsibility for Admission

The County Borough Council, as Local Education Authority (the LEA), shall be responsible for determining the criteria and procedure for admissions, and for admissions to all Community Primary, Secondary and Special Schools and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The LEA will consult school governing bodies annually in relation to admission criteria.

The Governing Bodies of Aided and Foundation Schools shall be responsible for determining the criteria and procedure arrangements for admissions, and for the admission of pupils to all such schools. The Governing Bodies will consult with the Local Education Authority in relation to their admission criteria.

Fundamentals of Policy

The LEA will comply with statutory requirements and will give full recognition to the expression of parental preference in the context of its duty to ensure the provision of efficient education and the efficient use of education resources. The LEA will not refuse applicants for a particular school unless that school has reached its admission number for admissions, that being the number that can be admitted to a school in any one year group.

The LEA will admit pupils up to the Admission Number of each school, or up to any higher limit which may have been agreed between the County Borough and a particular governing body. The LEA will only admit pupils in excess of the Admission Number to any school where it is deemed not to be prejudicial to the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources.

The Admission Number for each school will be established in accordance with the appropriate statutory requirements. (Information about the Admission Number for each school can be found in the Parents, Guardians and Carer's Guide to Education Services).

The Welsh Assembly Government has recently ended consultation on their proposed new assessment method to calculate the capacity of, and admissions numbers for, Primary and Secondary schools. The timetable for implementation of the proposed new method will involve LEA's recalculating the capacities of schools in their areas. All Authorities will need to have moved to the new method for the 2008 admission round.
