In accordance with Section 89 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 and the Education (Determination of Admission Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2006 the Council is required to review the School Admission Policy annually. Cabinet therefore considered the School Admissions Arrangements Policy for 2018/19. The policy had been subject to consultation with head teachers, governing bodies, diocesan directors, neighbouring local education authorities and other interested bodies.
Following Cabinet consideration on 16 November 2017 a consultation was undertaken which sought to respond to Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods (WISERD), research findings, and invited comments on alternative options for admission to secondary education, the report outlined and appraised consultation responses.
RESOLVED: that
1. the attached Council’s draft School Admission Arrangements 2019/2020 as set out in the Admission Policy 2019/2020 be determined.
2. It be noted that the School Admission Arrangements 2019/2020 implement Option A for admission to secondary education, as set out in the Admissions Arrangements Consultation Document (Appendix 2).
3. It be noted that Cabinet will receive a subsequent report on revisions to school catchment areas for 2020/2021.
