Admission Arrangements Consultation 2013 - 2014
School Admission Arrangements for 2013
All admission arrangements have now been determined for maintained schools and academies in Lincolnshire for the school year starting in September 2013.
Copies of the determined admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools are available for inspection at County Offices, Newland, Lincoln LN1 1YQ or by clicking on the links below.
The arrangements for academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools must be displayed on their website
The right to object to these arrangements is set out below.
Under the government’s school admissions code any person or body who considers that any maintained school or Academy’s arrangements are unlawful, or not in compliance with the Code or relevant law relating to admissions, can make an objection to the Schools Adjudicator.
The following types of objections cannot be brought:
a) objections that seek to remove selective arrangements at a maintained school (which are permitted under Section 105 to 109 of the SSFA 1988) or a selective Academy;
b) objections about own authority admission’s decision to increase or keep the same PAN;
c) objections about a decision by the admission authority of a voluntary controlled or community school to increase or keep the same PAN, unless the objection is brought by the governing body of the school;
d) objections in respect of an agreed variation from the Code in relation to admission arrangements for an Academy;
e) objections to arrangements which raise the same or substantially the same matters as the adjudicator has decided on for that school in the last 2 years; and
f) anonymous objections.
Such objections must be referred by 30 June 2012 to:
