The County Council is required to have a procedure in place for parents to apply for primary and secondary school places for their child to join Reception Year, Year 3 at Junior Schools or Year 7 at Secondary Schools. The procedure must cover all maintained primary and secondary schools, including those where the County Council is not the admitting authority (i.e. schools in other LAs, Foundation Schools and Voluntary Aided Schools). There must also be a procedure for parents to apply for places at other times, for example, late arrivals into the area or admission into other year groups.
