Consultation
School Admission Arrangements 2020/2021
The Vale Council is consulting with parents on a proposed change to secondary school admission arrangements for the academic year 2020/2021.
The Council is considering a change to the admission arrangements and oversubscription criteria for secondary schools to ensure that those living in a school catchment area will be a high priority for admission to a school in the event of oversubscription.
The proposed change will prioritise those living in a school's catchment area and remove the feeder primary school as an oversubscription criterion. This will give priority to pupils living in an area to gain a place in their local school.
Determination
The Vale of Glamorgan Councils Cabinet determined the Councils admission arrangements on the 15 April 2019 for the academic year 2020/21 and approved changes to prioritise those living in a schools catchment area and to remove the feeder primary school system as an oversubscription criteria. The arrangements will become policy for the academic year 2020/21.
