The Choice Advisory Service

If children are to have the best chance in life, the Local Authority must ensure that all children have the same opportunities to access education, regardless of background, race or religion etc.

The Choice Advisers help parents access all the information they need to make the best choice for their child's education, Primary, Secondary and Casual Admissions. We operate an outreach service, helping parents who may not fully understand the admissions process or have difficulty accessing information.
