School Admission Co-Ordinated Scheme & Policy 2020/2021 Consultation

Overview

We have reviewed our Co-Ordinated Admissions Scheme for Primary, Infant, Junior and Secondary schools for Reading Borough Council for the 2020/2021 academic year and Admissions Policy for Infant, Junior and Primary Schools 2020/2021. As a result we are proposing some amendments. 

The consultation is taking place between 15 October and 9 December 2018.

Please note - a new question (proposed change 1) has been added to the Primary Admissions Policy for Community Schools 2020 as of 22/10/2018, and the previous proposed changes renumbered 2 to 9). 

Why your views matter

The School Admissions code of 2014 section 1.42 says all admission authorities must consult on their admission arrangements at least every 7 years. It has been 7 years since Reading Borough Council last consulted on its admissions arrangements and therefore we have to consult this year. We welcome your feedback on the proposed changes.
