All schools must have admission arrangements that clearly set out how children will be admitted, including what happens if there are more applications than places at the school.
Admission arrangements are decided by admission authorities. We are the admissions authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools within Westmorland and Furness.
We have to seek your views, if we are are proposing changes to admission arrangements.
We are proposing changes to the admissions process and co-ordinated admission scheme for 2026 to 2027.
How to give us you views
We are looking for your views on our proposed admission arrangements and the co-ordinated admission scheme for 2026 to 2027.
