Schools in Wakefield are undertaking statutory consultation on the proposed admissions policies for 2011/12, together with the respective admission numbers for the schools.

This consultation will take place for up to 8 weeks and will end on 29 January 2010.

The Government is currently undertaking consultation in relation to the points of entry to reception class.  As a consequence, the admission arrangements for primary schools may need to be amended to reflect any changes to the School Admissions Code.
