Conference Description

Date: Thu 06/11/2008

Location - Central London (venue TBC)

“Some schools in England may be breaking the law in the way they admit pupils, despite the introduction of new rules last year, the government has said.”
BBC News Website

Since the Government passed the 2007 Admissions Code, the difficulties of organising ‘fair and transparent’ admissions arrangements have never been far from the limelight.

The Code introduced for the first time mandatory admissions requirements; Admissions Authorities must now act in accordance with the Code’s demands. What problems has this raised for your Admissions Authority? For example how has the increased emphasis on parental choice affected you?

Are you certain that you are compliant with the Code and that you can avoid the penalties of getting your admissions policy wrong? The penalties for getting it wrong are severe and the Government is committed to changing the way Admissions Arrangements work.

Attend the 2008 School Admissions conference to consolidate your knowledge of the Code and to answer your questions about important issues, such as the new School Admission Appeals Code and Regulations.

Our expert speakers will help you to:

  • Understand the powers and responsibilities of the School Adjudicators.
  • Explore the requirements of the new School Admission Appeals Code and Regulations.
  • Deal effectively with parental concerns and appeals.
  • Develop effective and compliant over subscription criteria.
  • Explore how faith schools can insure they are compliant with the Code and prescribed Admissions Arrangements.
  • ...and a great deal more.

Plus, all delegates will get access to a unique website where they can download the speakers’ presentations.
