All admission authorities are required to formally consult if they want to make any changes to their schools’ admission arrangements for the following school year. They also have to consult on their schools’ admission arrangements at least once every seven years, even if there have been no changes during that period.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich co-ordinates an annual school admissions consultation on behalf of all community schools in the borough.
The consultation on school admission arrangements for September 2024 is now open. The consultation will run from Tuesday 22 November until midnight, Friday 6 January 2023.
Proposed changes to the school admission arrangements for Community schools for 2024 intakes include:
- Linton Mead Primary School to reduce its published admission number (PAN) from 60 to 30.
- New definition for the medical/social care needs criterion within the oversubscription criteria.
- Better clarity on the rationale for consideration and how applications are assessed under the medical/social needs criterion of the oversubscription criteria.
