Issue - meetings

(Report of the Director of the Children and the Young People’s Service – To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People): To report on the outcome of the statutory consultation on admission arrangements for the 2009/10 school year with recommendations resulting from that consultation.

Admission to Schools - Determination of Admission Arrangements (Report of the Director of the Children and Young People’s Service - Agenda Item 10)

Clarification was sought of the reasons for the proposed admission limit for North Haringey school and what help the Council would be giving the school. We noted that the school was finding it difficult to fill all of the 81 places available there and further consultation with the school would take place about a planned reduction to the admission limit over time to 60. 

RESOLVED:

That approval be granted to

1. The proposed admission arrangements for determination for all community primary and secondary schools and St Aidan’s Voluntary Controlled Primary School.

2. The admission arrangements for sixth form provision in Alexandra Park School, the Highgate/Hornsey Consortium and the Sixth Form Centre.

3. The determination of the Qualifying Schemes for the co-ordination of arrangements for admission to reception classes in all maintained primary and secondary schools in Haringey and in so doing it be noted that at secondary level, this entailed the Council’s continued participation in the Pan-London Scheme.
