  • 2. Co-Ordinated Admissions Scheme 2020-21
    Co-ordinated Admission Scheme for all Maintained Schools and Academies in the Area of Cumbria County Council 2020–2021 Note: the list of schools may need to be revised to provide for the conversion of some schools to academies or to take account of other school organisational changes. For the purposes of this document ‘school’ refers to maintained schools and academies unless otherwise indicated. 1. Introduction (1) In line with the requirements of the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act (as amended) this scheme has been drawn up by Cumbria County Council to co- ordinate admissions to all maintained schools and academies in Cumbria, except for entry to Year 12 and for entry to special and nursery schools, regardless of whether the Local Authority (LA) or the governing body is the admission authority. (2) The scheme’s purpose is to ensure that, as far as reasonably practicable: i) Every parent or carer living in Cumbria who has applied for a place for their child for entry in September 2020 to Reception in an infant or primary school, Year 3 in junior school or to Year 7 at a secondary school in the normal admissions round, receives only one offer of a school place for each child on: (a) 1 March (or the next working day) for transferring to Year 7 at a secondary school; NOTE: The School Admissions Code 2014 states that, ‘for secondary school applications, all offers must be made on the same secondary National Offer Day ie. 1 March or the next working day’. As 1 March 2020 will be a Sunday, offers of Year 7 places for September 2020 will be made on Monday 2 March 2020 (the next working day after 1 March 2020).
