The Isle of Wight Council has launched a consultation on primary and secondary school admission arrangements for the school year 2015/2016.
The consultation is about ‘main round’ and ‘in-year’ admissions for the school year – and includes the proposed admission arrangements for voluntary controlled and community primary schools. The only changes proposed to the arrangements are for secondary schools, which may also have implications for the Island’s Home to Education Transport Policy.
The consultation runs until 14th February 2014 and the results will be available from March.

Cabinet member for children’s services, Councillor Richard Priest, said:
“We would strongly urge parents to take part in this important consultation. It will play a helpful part towards determining our finalised school admission arrangements for 2015/2016.”
Conservative group spokesman for education, Councillor Chris Whitehouse, said:
“This consultation gives parents the chance to register their views and have a key input into the proposed arrangements for 2015/2016. It is important they take this opportunity to indicate any preferences or concerns they may have in relation to the proposals.”
