Purpose

The DfE Guidance, published in the School
Admissions Code (2021) requires the local authority to agree the
admission arrangements. The admission arrangements are largely
unchanged from the policies determined for 2024/2025.
The documents went to public consultation between 4th December 2023
and 31st January 2024, with information sent to all relevant
parties as well as being published on the BCC website and
consultation hub. Clarification and suggestions were put forward
and will considered for future years.
