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.

Deputy Headteacher: Mark Nicholls, BA (Hons) The Ridgeway St Albans Hertfordshire AL4 9NX Letter No: 113/2021 t: 01727 799560 [email protected] 19 April 2021 www.sandringham.herts.sch.uk Dear Parents/Carers Re: Arrangements for the End of Year 11 and Year 13 Courses You will be aware of the Department for Education’s decision about the awarding of this summer’s GCSE and A level grades. Following the cancellation of public exams, this year’s grades will be generated by teacher assessment based on evidence. However, it is important to note that, in line with official guidance, each school will administer a rigorous system of moderation and quality assurance. This will include STASSH schools working together to facilitate the moderation process. Schools need to submit grades to the exam boards by 18 June 2021 and this date, therefore informs the decision about ‘leaving dates’ for Year 11 and Year 13 students. All schools in our STASSH group have agreed that these students will complete their studies at the May half term break, with the last day in school being the 28 May 2021; each school will have its own particular arrangements for each year group. However we would like to build in a cushion between the last day of school and the submission of exam grades. This may be useful if an individual student has missed an earlier assessment task and would provide an opportunity for that student to catch up.
