Balcarras School Admissions Consultation 2018
Balcarras School held a consultation process for admission to the school for 2020. This started on the 7th November 2018 and included circulating interested parties such as local schools, parents, colleagues and Gloucestershire County Council, by letter, email and by placing the proposed Admissions Criteria on the Balcarras and local authority websites. On the evening of Tuesday 13th November 2018 a public meeting was held on the school premises.
The governors did not propose any changes to the existing admission arrangements but were required to consult under the seven year rule.
The governors collected and considered all the written responses to the consultation as well as verbal contributions from the public meeting.
Following this consultation, the governors have agreed to retain the criteria unaltered for 2020. These are now published on the school and local authority websites.
