Consultation on Admission Arrangements for Liverpool Schools for September 2009

Welcome to the Liverpool Schools' Admission Policy Consultation web pages.  The purpose of these pages is to provide a quick and effective way for Liverpool schools to consult on their proposed admission arrangements for September 2009.  The consultation process will begin in February 2008.

This consultation is only open to schools, admitting authorities and church authorities. The comments of parents, carers and other interested groups cannot be taken into account as part of the consultation process.

The admitting authority for community and controlled Church of England schools is Liverpool Children's Services.  

The admitting authority for academies is the trust board of the individual academy.  

For foundation and voluntary aided schools the admitting authority is the governing body.  

All schools have to consult annually on the proposed admission arrangements.

  • If you have any comments about the admission arrangements for the academies, voluntary aided or foundation schools you should make these in writing or by e-mail directly to the school or academy by 1st March 2008.
  • If you have any comments about the admission arrangements for community or controlled Church of England schools please e-mail them to Peter Jones by 1st March 2008. Peter's e-mail address is: peter.jones@liverpool.gov.uk
