To approve Herefordshire Council’s proposed admissions arrangements for the academic year 2025/2026

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 2024 for admission in school year 2025/2026 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.
