Co-ordinated Admission Arrangements

The Authority co-ordinates admission arrangements during the normal admission round and in-year admissions within Rotherham for all year groups. In order to meet the requirements of the Admissions Code 2021 relating to the processing of in-year transfer requests within 15 school days, and in line with neighbouring Authorities, Rotherham no longer co-ordinates in-year admissions with other Local Authorities.

Paragraph 2.26 of the Admissions Code 2021 states: -

Own admission authorities and governing bodies must set out on the school’s website by 31 August how in-year applications will be dealt with from the 1 September until the following 31 August. They must set out how parents can apply for a school place, and, where they manage their own in-year admissions, provide a suitable application form for parents to complete (and a supplementary information form where necessary), and set out when parents will be notified of the outcome of their application and details about the right to appeal. If the admission authority is to be a part of the local authority’s in-year co-ordination scheme, it must provide information on where parents can find details of the relevant scheme. An admission authority, governing body or local authority must provide a hard copy of the information about in-year applications on request for those who do not have access to the internet.
