To approve the composite prospectus for the admission/transfer of pupils into primary and high schools.

Members discussed the ‘Information for Parents Booklet 2005-2006’ composite prospectus for the admission/transfer of pupils into primary and high schools. 

A copy of the ‘Information for parents Booklet 2005-2006’ is appended to the report.

The School Services Manager informed the Forum of various changes which had been made to the booklet since the previous edition. The most significant of these changes related to Chapter 4 and Appendix 2 which had been adapted due to the implementation of the new Co-ordinated Primary Admission Scheme. 

The Forum was also informed of other minor editorial changes and Members suggested a number of further minor changes in addition to the changes highlighted by the School Services Manager.

RESOLVED: That subject to the agreed amendments the ‘Information for Parents Booklet 2005-2006’ be approved for publication.
