Hampshire County Council is consulting with parents, schools and other local authorities on its proposed admissions arrangements for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in its administrative area, for September 2013.

What are the proposed changes?

The changes being proposed are as follows:

• Introduction of a 'Children of staff' criterion in the Primary and Secondary school admission policies, below children living outside the catchment area with a sibling on roll at the school. (Staff refers to all employees on the school payroll.) Please see explanatary note  16kb for further detail;

• Introduction of a 'children attending the linked infant school' criterion for Gomer Junior School, Liphook Junior School, Manor Junior School, Merdon Junior School, Oakley Junior School, Peel Common Junior School, Purbrook Junior School, Ranvilles Junior School and Weyford Junior School;

• Removal of the school specific criterion reserving 2 places in Year 3 at East Meon CofE Primary School for children living in the catchment area of Froxfield CofE Infant School and attending that school;

• Changes to some schools' Published Admission Numbers.
