Bedford Borough Council Admission Arrangements 2013

Introduction

Following appropriate consultation, Bedford Borough Council has determined its admission arrangements for September 2013.

The determined admission arrangements are set out in the documents linked to this webpage.

Admissions Criteria

• The standard admissions policy for community and voluntary controlled schools has been amended in accordance with the new mandatory requirement of the School Admissions Code, which extends the priority given to 'looked after' children to include children who were previously 'looked after'.  Please follow the link to view the standard policy and the list of community and voluntary controlled schools to which the standard policy applies.
• A number of schools have, in addition to the standard criteria, other criteria included within their policies.  Please follow the link to view the list of community and voluntary controlled schools with additional criteria. 
• The governing bodies of voluntary aided, foundation, trust schools and academies are their own admission authorities and therefore responsible for the determination of their admission arrangements.  Please follow the link to the list of schools / academies.
