The Cabinet Member considered a report that sought approval for the City of York Council co-ordinated schemes and admissions policies for both primary and secondary schools for the 2013/14 academic year.   The report also sought approval of the  proposed individual school maximum admission limits for the academic year beginning in September 2013.

 

Officers confirmed that there had been no material change to the admissions policies that were presented, other than to reflect the requirement of the Education Act 2011 in respect of the oversubscription criteria being extended to include “previously looked after” children.
