Annual report to the school adjudicator

Local authorities must produce an annual report on admissions for all schools in their area.

This is published locally and sent to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator by the end of October every year.

The report covers:

• information about how admission arrangements serve the interests of looked after children and previously looked after children, children with disabilities and children with special educational needs, including any details where problems have arisen
• an assessment of the effectiveness of fair access protocols and co-ordination in the local area, including how many children were admitted to each school under the protocol
• information on admission appeals
• any other issues the local authority may wish to include

The schools adjudicator may also request additional information from the local authority as required by the Secretary of State.
