Admissions policy consultations

Each school publishes an admissions policy every year. All policies must be compliant with the School Admission Code.

Schools need to consult with the public on their admissions policy at least once every 7 years or whenever they want to change the policy.

Public consultations last for at least 6 weeks and take place between 1 October and 31 January. Once the consultation ends, the school must consider all responses and approve a final policy by 28 February and publish the policy by 15 March. The policy applies to admissions for the following school year.
