Proposed Local Authority Admission Arrangements and Published Admissions Numbers for September 2023/2024

Overview

Birmingham City Council consults on the proposed published admission arrangements and proposed published admissions numbers for community and voluntary controlled schools as their admissions authority. 

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 objections or comments will be considered when Birmingham Local Authority determines its admissions arrangements before 28 February following the end of the consultation period.
