This online event took place on 05 July 2021 and is now available on-demand. The content in this recording was correct as of the original webinar date.
The School Admissions Code 2021 was recently published by the Department for Education and, subject to parliamentary approval, will be implemented this September.
We highlighted the key changes that, if approved, will impact the way in which your admissions system will need to operate.
Admissions experts Richard Freeth and Philip Wood discussed how these changes will ultimately affect your decision-making, particularly in relation to supporting vulnerable children and in-year admissions.
This on-demand video spoke about:
- understand what changes are happening and how these will affect your school;
- be able to make the necessary changes to your admission policy and procedures; and
- ensure your governance arrangements are sufficiently robust and agile to work within the requirements of the new Code.
