Birmingham City Council’s Proposed Admission Arrangements for September 2028/2029

Overview

Birmingham City Council is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools and is responsible for consulting on the proposed admissions arrangements, proposed admissions numbers and the proposed scheme for the coordinated admissions to schools and academies for the 2028/2029 academic year.

Why your views matter

When admission authorities propose changes to their current admission arrangements, they must consult on those changes for a minimum of six weeks. This consultation period allows parents, other schools, religious authorities and the local community to raise any concerns about their proposed admission arrangements.

Admission authorities must consult with:

• parents of children between the ages of two and eighteen;
• other persons in the relevant area who in the opinion of the admission authority have an interest in the proposed admissions;
• all other admission authorities within the relevant area (except that primary schools need not consult secondary schools);
• whichever of the governing body and the local authority who are not the admission authority;
• any adjoining neighbouring local authorities where the admission authority is the local authority; and
• in the case of schools designated with a religious character, the body or person representing the religion or religious denomination.
