Oversubscription criteria in school admission policies.
Each admission authority adopts its own admissions policy for the academic year. However the only time these policies are used is when a school receives more applications than it has places available. In these circumstances the admission authorities apply what is known as their "oversubscription" criteria to decide who should be offered a place. Pupils with a Statement of Special Educational Needs issued by a local authority naming a specific school where a pupil should receive his/her education will be admitted to any maintained school before preferences are considered for admission in September.
The criteria are agreed by the Admission Authority for the school and are required to be in line with the School Admissions Code of Practice. For Community and Voluntary Controlled schools the admission authority is the local authority, for Foundation and Voluntary Aided schools it is the Governing Body of the school.
