The consultation on Hertfordshire school admissions arrangements for 2012/2013 opens today.

The county council is seeking feedback from parents, carers, schools and community groups on its admission arrangements for September 2012. After last year’s decision to change to a system of straight line measurement for home-school distances, the county council is proposing no major changes to its admission arrangements for 2012 to allow a period of consolidation. However, some changes are proposed to published admission numbers and 6th form arrangements.

Feedback is being sought on
* The nursery admissions oversubscription criteria
* Admission arrangements for all community and voluntary-controlled schools
* Schemes of co-ordination in operation
* Sixth-form admission arrangements
* Published admission numbers

The consultation period opens on 4 January 2011 and runs until 28 February 2011. The admissions arrangements for all Hertfordshire schools, together with the full consultation document are available to view online at www.hertsdirect.org/csfconsultations.
