Decision details

The new draft School Admissions Code and associated regulations were laid before Parliament on 13 May 2021.

The Government Minister has signed an Appointed Day Order, which will bring the New School Admissions Code 2021 and all its provisions into effect from 1 September 2021. 

The report will detail the statutory revisions that are required to the previously determined and published admission arrangements for Kirklees community and voluntary controlled schools for 2021/22 and 2022/23.

The revised admission arrangements must be determined by 31 August 2021 to comply with the new School Admissions Code 2021.

1)    That the revised Kirklees Admission Arrangements for community and controlled schools for 2021/2022, as set out at Appendix 1, be approved.

2)    That the revised Kirklees Admission Arrangements for community and controlled schools for 2022/2023, as set out at Appendix 2, be approved.

3)    That Officers be directed to work with the Education Learning Partnership Board to develop protocols to ensure that families receive a service which, at the very least, complies with the Admissions Code 2021 regardless of the Admission’s Authority.
