Decision details
Herefordshire's co-ordinated admissions arrangements for 2024/2025
Decision Maker: Cabinet member children and families
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve Herefordshire Council’s proposed admissions arrangements for the academic year 2024/2025
The proposed arrangements comply with the current School Admissions Code which came into force on 1 September 2021. The recommendation applies to admission arrangements determined in 2023 for admission in school year 2024/2025 for those schools in Herefordshire for whom the council is the admissions authority.
In 2022 some minor clarification changes were made to the arrangements previously published on the council’s website to bring the admissions arrangements in line with the updated code. These updates did not require consultation as they were required by the code itself.
Decision:
That:
a) The proposed admission arrangements for 2024/2025, as at appendix A, are approved.
Alternative options considered:
There are no alternatives. The proposed admission arrangements are the result of considering the responses to the formal consultation undertaken in the winter of 2020/21 and following the updated admissions code of September 2021. No other alternative arrangements were suggested via the consultation process. It is a statutory requirement to determine admissions arrangements each year.
