Issue - meetings

Craig Chapman (Interim Head of Fair Access) and Christine McInnes (Director of Education) were in attendance for this item.

Mr Chapman introduced the report that updated the determined 2021-22 and 2022-23 admission arrangements for Kent community and voluntary controlled primary schools and Kent community and voluntary controlled secondary schools to accommodate new legal requirements in the forthcoming 2021 School Admissions Code. Mr Chapman said that the new admissions code would add regulations for children adopted from abroad and that local authority regulations needed to be broadly in line with the new code.

A)   Updated admission arrangements for Kent community and voluntary controlled primary schools for 2021-22.

B)   Updated admission arrangements for Kent community and voluntary controlled primary schools for 2022-23.
