We are giving parents in Wiltshire the chance to have their say on how school admissions in the county will operate in the future.

Wiltshire Council is asking all parents, and other groups with an interest in the local area, for their input in helping shape the proposed arrangements in the county.

All parties taking part will have the opportunity to give their views on what the policy for admissions should be. For example, if they do not like the council’s policy on prioritising school places for children in close proximity to the school, they can send their comments to the council and suggest alternative ideas.

The proposed schemes for the co-ordination of admissions to primary, infant, junior and secondary schools in Wiltshire are available on request from the school admissions team at County Hall, Trowbridge on 01225 713010 or admissions@wiltshire.gov.uk. They can also be found below.

Admission arrangements, which propose how admissions to voluntary controlled and community schools will operate, are also available from County Hall.

The school admissions team need to receive all responses by Tuesday, 28 February 2012

Voluntary aided and foundation schools, which control their own admissions, also have to consult on their proposed admission arrangements for 2013/14 and parents should contact these schools directly if they wish to view and make comments on their proposals.

Following the consultation period, the schemes and admission arrangements have to be determined by 15 April 2012 and will be summarised in the annual guide to parents which Wiltshire Council produces at the beginning of the new school year.
