Proposed changes to the admission arrangements for 2024/25

Demo Council would welcome your views on the proposed changes to the admission arrangements for community schools and the Pan-London coordinated admissions schemes for the 2024/25 academic year.

In accordance with the School Admissions Code (2014), we are consulting with key stakeholders, including;

• Parents and carers ;
• neighbouring Admission Authorities;
• local residents;

The consultation document outlines the three proposed changes and should be considered in conjunction with the draft Admission Arrangements for the 2024/25 academic year attached at Appendix 1. See below for documents.

We want to know your views and the potential impact of each of the proposed changes. You can do this by completing the online questionnaire below.
