Earlier timescales for consulting on Admissions Policies for 2023/24
Also on the subject of admissions, the timescales for own admission authorities (i.e. our VA schools and academies) consulting on any changes to their admissions policies for 2023/24 are earlier than they have been in previous years. Remember, if you are seeking to make any changes from the 2022/23 policy to apply for entry in September 2023, consultation should be for a minimum of 6 weeks and take place between 1st October 2021 and 31st January 2022. Whether you are making any changes or not you must make sure that the Governing Body has formally decided on and adopted its Admissions Policy for the year by 28th February 2022. This decision must be minuted. Copies MUST be sent to the Local Education Authority as soon as possible before 15th March 2022 and admissions policies must be published on the school website clearly stating the year to which they apply.
Finally, please note that own admission authorities (i.e. VA schools and academies) are not required to consult on increasing or keeping the same PAN (although you must consult if you intend to decrease the PAN) However, you MUST notify the local authority of any intention to increase the PAN and refer to this change on the school website.
