School Admission Arrangements 2027/28

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is consulting with prescribed consultees on its admission arrangements for the academic year 2027/28 as per the requirements of the School Admission Code 2013. 

 

The Consultees are:

  • The governing bodies of all schools in the Vale of Glamorgan
  • Neighbouring Local Authorities
  • Diocesan Directors of Education
  • The Vale of Glamorgan Admissions Forum

The only changes from last year's arrangements is a proposed extension of the temporary secondary oversubscription criteria relating to those pupils on roll at a feeder primary school, criteria 4 of the secondary school oversubscription criteria.  It is proposed to extend the temporary criteria for a further year that would cease for the 2028/29 academicyear.
The text has been revised in regards to the 2024 Welsh Government regulations requiring a Coordinated Admissions Scheme. The list of participating schools has been amended
