The Local Authority consulted with schools, neighbouring local authorities, church authorities and parents/members of the public before determining admission arrangements for 2026/27. An on-line public consultation was undertaken via this website for the required six-week period (from 20 December 2024 to 31 January 2025).

- 2026/27 Local Authority Determined Admission Arrangements for School Nursery Classes
The Local Authority also formulates the co-ordinated primary and secondary admission schemes which confirm the procedures for applying for places and the allocation process for entry to school in the 2026/27 school year. The schemes apply to all schools/academies in the Local Authority area.
Academies and Voluntary Aided Schools (Catholic and Church of England) also determine their admission arrangements on an annual basis – these can be accessed from the links below and can also be viewed on individual school websites.
