Community School Admission Arrangements

Brent Council is formally consulting on proposed changes to the school admission arrangements for community schools in the borough. The proposed changes would come into effect for the 2024/2025 academic year.

There are three proposed changes to the current admission arrangements:

• the removal of all admissions criteria determined by catchment area, and their replacement with criteria for all siblings, then any other applicants;
• a change to lift the children of staff criterion above the sibling criteria;
• expansion of the Medical and Social Needs criterion to include consideration of the medical or social needs of family members with caring or parental responsibility for an applicant.

You can access an explanation of the proposed changes, and review the full proposed admission arrangements in the attached documents.
