CONSULTATION ON SCHOOL ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS 2023/2024

All school admission authorities, including Plymouth City Council, are required to consult on their admission arrangements in accordance with provisions within the School Admissions Code where there is a change to the arrangements or at least once every seven years if there are no changes.  It is important to ensure that school admission arrangements meet the needs of all parents and children and consultation is an important part of the process in formulating and setting school admission arrangements. 

We are consulting all stakeholders on the proposed admission arrangements for admission arrangements for 2023/2024. Amongst others, we will be consulting with:

• all maintained schools in Plymouth;
• pre-schools in Plymouth;
• parents;
• local community groups;
• neighbouring local authorities;
• schools in neighbouring areas;
• Church of England (CE) and Roman Catholic (RC) Diocesan Directors of Education;
• City Councillors and Members of Parliament;
• trade unions;
• relevant Trusts and Associations.

Further information and details of the proposed changes are available on the Plymouth City Council website at www.plymouth.gov.uk/admissionconsultation from Monday 7 December 2023, or from the School Admissions Team.  As part of the consultation process we would like to canvass the views of as many groups of people as possible. 

If you have any queries about the consultation please contact the School Admissions Team by e-mail at schoolconsultations@plymouth.gov.uk
