RESOLVED:
 

That Cabinet makes
the following recommendation to the County Council:

Recommendation
That the coordinated
admissions scheme that will apply to all applicants and schools for
2026 is agreed as set out in Annex 1. 
Reasons for
Decisions:
 
·        
The
coordinated admissions scheme for 2026 is essentially the same as
2025 with dates updated
·        
There are
several changes that have been made to the primary and secondary
schemes as points of clarification (see paragraph 9), but these do
not alter current practice
·        
The coordinated admissions scheme will
enable the County Council to meet its statutory duties regarding
school admissions
·        
The coordinated admissions scheme is
working well
·        
The Local Authority has a statutory duty
to publish its coordinated admissions scheme for 2026 by 1 January
2025
·        
The proposed scheme meets the statutory requirements
of the School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Coordination
of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012 and the
School Admissions Code
