| ODPM desc: | Parents/guardians to apply online for school places for children for the 2007 school year. The admissions process starts about a year before the beginning of the school year, e.g. September 2006 for 2007 entry Owing to the long lead-in time, school admissions systems will need to be in place by March 2006 at the latest. |
| | | |
| IDeA guidance: | To fulfil the requirements of this outcome councils will need to implement an online schools admissions service.
Application forms should be provided on council websites, with links to them from school websites, for parents to fill in to apply for the school(s) of their choice. Deep links should also be provided to grant-maintained schools and other schools with their own separate application processes.
The forms should be linked to a back office system that manages the process of allocating school places. This link can be direct from forms to back office, or via a middleware message broker. All staff involved in the allocation process should have appropriate secure access to the information. The system should be capable of meeting the latest requirements of the Admissions Code of Practice (including coordinated Admissions).
Communication with Schools should either by secure email or by login to the allocations system. Communication with Parents should be by login to the system, by email or by letters directly generated by the system. Applications should be acknowledged – with automatic acknowledgements being acceptable.
This outcome affects all schools covered by the School Admissions Code of Practice issued by the DfES in February 2003 (DfES/0031/2003) (see http://publications.teachernet.gov.uk/eOrderingDownload/DfES-0031-2003.pdf). |
