Purpose

To approve Herefordshire Council’s
proposed admissions arrangements for the academic year 2026/27 The
proposed arrangements comply with the current School Admissions
Code which came into force on 1 September 2021. The recommendation
applies to admission arrangements determined in 2024 for admission
in school year 2026/27 for those schools in Herefordshire for whom
the council is the admissions authority. In 2022 some minor
clarification changes were made to the arrangements previously
published on the council’s website to bring the admissions
arrangements in line with the updated code. These updates did not
require consultation as they were required by the code itself.

Decision

That:
 
a) The proposed admission arrangements for
2026/27, as at appendix A, are approved.
