Consultation on the admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2019

Overview

Surrey County Council would like your views on:

• proposed changes to admission arrangements for some community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2019
• the admission arrangements for all remaining community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2019

The consultation on these proposals will run from Wednesday 1 November 2017 to Tuesday 12 December 2017.

Only response forms which are fully completed with the respondent's name and address will be accepted to help eliminate multiple responses and to assess the level of local interest in each proposal.

A full summary of the changes and a copy of the proposed admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools are set out in the 'Related documents' below.

Why your views matter

We have a statutory duty to consult on admission arrangements if we intend to make a change.

The changes being proposed are as follows:

1. Cranmere Primary School – decrease in published admission number for Reception from 90 to 60
2. William Cobbett Primary School – decrease in published admission number for Reception from 40 to 30
3. The Dawnay School – introduction of a feeder link from Polesden Lacey Infant School at Year 3
4. Reigate Priory School - Introduction of a feeder link from Dovers Green and Holmesdale Community infant schools on a tiered basis

What happens next

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the consultation on admission arrangements for 2019.

After the closing date, responses will be collated and presented to the County Council's decision making Cabinet on 30 January 2018. It will decide whether or not to proceed with the proposed changes as well as determining the admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools for which no changes are proposed. Cabinet’s decision will then need to be ratified by the full County Council on 6 February 2018. Once determined the final admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools will be placed on Surrey's website at www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions.
