Statutory Notice Brighton & Hove City Council School Standards and Framework Act 1998

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, in accordance with the above Act and associated Regulations, of the proposed admission arrangements for maintained schools in Brighton & Hove for the 2013/14 admission year.

In accordance with the provisions of the Act and associated Regulations, parents of children who have attained the age of 2 but are not above statutory school age and who have been, are, or will be eligible to apply to the school (or schools) whose admission arrangements are the subject of the consultation, and who are resident in Brighton & Hove, are invited to comment upon the proposed arrangements by 28 February 2012. The proposed admission arrangements for Community Schools and BACA are available for comment now. The proposed arrangements for Voluntary Aided Schools will be available by 4th January 2012.

The admission arrangements for Community Schools, BACA PACA and Voluntary Aided Schools will be available for inspection on the Brighton & Hove City Council website at www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/schooladmissions.

Once the Council and the Governing Bodies of Voluntary Aided Schools, BACA and PACA have determined their admission arrangements for 2013/14 following this consultation, the Council will publish a public notice setting out those arrangements before 1st May 2012.
