Advanced Notice – Consultation for New Fair Access Protocol

We are in the final stages of compiling the new Fair Access Protocol (FAP) which will bring it in line with the new Admissions Code 2021.  The Microsoft form which will be incorporated into the protocol is being trialled internally and will go out to the schools who have helped to coproduce it for testing this week.

The consultation for the new FAP will be sent to all schools on Friday 4^th March and will run for 5 weeks, ending on Friday 8^th April.  Analysis of the results will then commence, and comments will be responded to.  The final version will go to Cabinet on Thursday 16^th June.  Once ratified, the document will be circulated to all schools prior to the summer holidays and will be adopted and in place for 1^st September 2022.
