New admission code

As the new term is now well underway we just want to remind all schools the new School Admission Code is now in effect and contains a number of changes and clarifications.

 

The main purpose of these changes is to improve support for the in-year admission of vulnerable children.

 

The changes include introducing more detail on the process for managing in-year admissions; changes to improve the effectiveness of Fair Access Protocols; giving children adopted from state care outside of England equal admissions priority as children who were previously looked after in England; and clarification of which address to use for the admission of service or crown servant children. 

Can all head teachers please ensure all school staff involved in processing of admissions to your school are aware of the new code and liaise with the Warwickshire Admissions Team accordingly.
