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

The Forum considered the composite prospectus for the admission/transfer of pupils into primary and high schools.

The Forum noted that the numbers for special schools reported in the booklet were the planned admission numbers rather than the actual numbers in attendance at the school which was significantly higher.  Following a request for the true numbers to be reflected in the booklet the Forum agreed to allow the Admissions and Transport Manager to consult the SEN Manager before taking any action.

It was anticipated that the booklet would be reviewed in light of any new guidance issued by the DfES following the awaited Education Act.

RESOLVED: THAT, subject to discussions between the Admissions and Transport Manager and the SEN Manager, the ‘Information for Parents’ booklet be approved.
