Looking Back, Looking Ahead Our Rights, Our Parliament, 2018 Foreword When I visited Wales last year, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet some of the people who were in- volved in the Campaign for the Children and Young People’s Assembly for Wales. I was impressed by the fact that in Wales there was broad and growing acceptance that children are not simply passive observers in the world, but that they are and must be active citizens and agents of change. As one young person from Rhondda Cynon Taff explains in this report: “It only makes sense to have a youth assembly … It encourages younger generations to become more politically active – getting their voices heard, instead of being drowned out in the noise.” I could not agree more. It is imperative that young people are empowered to build the arguments that will maintain and reform our democracies. I learned during my visit that the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales and her team were working together with the young campaigners and others, so I am delighted but not surprised to learn that, at the time of this report, the election process toward the first Welsh Youth Parliament is underway.

Since devolution, the Welsh Government has actively pursued a ‘sustainable development’ and a ‘children’s rights’ agenda. However, until recently, these separate agendas also did not contribute to each other, al- though they culminated in two radical and innovative pieces of legislation; the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure (2013) and the Well-being and Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015).

DESCRIPTORS Access to Education; *Admission Criteria; *Admission (School); Case Studies; Educational Change; Educational Discrimination; Educational Policy; Foreign Countries; Free Enterprise System; *School Choice; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS England; *Local Education Authorities (United Kingdom); Reform Efforts; Wales ABSTRACT This paper presents four case studies that are part of a larger study on admissions arrangements and impacts on school admissions for all local education authorities (LEAs) in England and Wales. It examines factors influencing the social composition of schools. A total of 23 LEAs completed interviews about their secondary school admissions arrangements The four case study LEAs have significantly different market scenarios. Results show that recent national education policy has not been evenly implemented across LEAs. A combination of organizational, structural, and demographic factors have muted much of the potential impact of school reforms on school admissions. Normative patterns of school use have not been substantially affected by the market reforms or the administrative actions of LEAs. LEAs remain important arenas within which school choice operates because they define kinds of choice available to parents in their administrative boundaries.
