Each school has an admissions policy which means it can fairly decide which children can go to the school. These policies will help you understand how the decisions will be made in your child's case.
Who decides what the policies will be?
As the admission authority we set the admissions policies for community and voluntary controlled primary and secondary schools. Voluntary Aided and Academy schools decide their own policies; there is usually a consultation if a policy change is proposed. Links to the consultations will be found on this page at the appropriate time of year. Following consultation each admission authority should make a final decision about their rules and publish them.
After each years arrangements have been determined any objections can be referred to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator osa.team@osa.gsi.gov.uk by 15 May in the determined year.
If you cannot find the rules for schools you are interested in, please check the school's own website.
