Admissions authorities must consult with the public to make changes to their policies. If there are no changes, they must still consult every seven years.
We are the admissions authority for community and controlled schools.
Foundation, aided, free schools and academies are their own admissions authority.
For the current arrangements, use our directory to find a school.
To find out more about how we deal with school admissions applications, read our school admissions schemes.
