Proposed Local Authority Admission Arrangements for September 2020/2021

Overview

As Birmingham City Council is their admissions authority, Birmingham City Council is consulting on the proposed admissions arrangements and the proposed published admissions numbers for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools in Birmingham for the 2020/2021.

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.

What happens next

Any comments/objections will be considered and where necessary responded to once the consultation period has elapsed. This is only applicable to those respondents that leave a contact name and contact email address.
