Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

8.4.1

There have not been any proposals
to change the current Admission Arrangements. The outturns
presented at 6.1.1 above confirm a very high level of preferences
met. It is not possible to achieve 100% outcomes because demand
will always be higher than available places at a number of schools. Changing the oversubscription
criteria would not necessarily lead to better
outcomes.
