Decision details

Councillors, Co-opted Members and members of the public are invited to submit their comments on this report to kerry.nicholls@bromley.gov.uk.

That the School Admissions arrangements for 2019/20 be agreed.

The Local Authority has a statutory responsibility under the Education Act 2002 and the Admissions Code 2012 (as amended in 2014) to formally determine its School Admissions arrangements on an annual basis for all schools for which it is the Admissions Authority.  Bromley Council is the Admissions Authority for seven Community and Voluntary Controlled schools comprising Bickley Primary School, Downe Primary School, Poverest Primary School, St Pauls Cray Primary School, Churchfields Primary School, Edgebury Primary School and Southborough Primary School.

The Admissions Code of Practice also requires that a formal consultation be undertaken on School Admissions arrangements at least once in every seven years.  This year is the seventh year and the request for determination follows a period of consultation for which no responses were received.
