Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Admissions Committee

Terms of reference:

·         To determine within statutory provisions and the governing body policy whether any child should be admitted to the school

·         To review admissions arrangements and to make recommendations for changes to the governing body

·         To liaise with local authority to set up an independent appeals panel in the case of parents wishing to appeal against the decision of the admissions committee.

 Membership – It is considered good practice to appoint the headteacher onto any admissions committee, but headteachers cannot act in place of the governing body in determining the school’s admissions policy, or in deciding on the admission of any individual child.
