The number of schools that refused a request based on 3.12 of the Code, which states: a ‘governing body does not wish to admit a child with challenging behaviour outside the normal admissions round, even though places are available, it must refer the case to the local authority for action under the Fair Access Protocol. This will normally only be appropriate where a school has a particularly high proportion of children with challenging behaviour or previously excluded children’, Please provide this information for this academic year, and then the previous three before that (17-18, 16-17, 15-16)

Please could you provide the average length of time from referral to a child entering their new school.
