Decision details

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Panel held on 3 October 2012 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

The Panel received previously circulated information on school admission appeals and on young people not in education, employment or training (NEET).  In response to a Member’s question regarding the number of children not offered their first school preference, the Panel was informed that a significant number of parents, particularly those applying for a primary place, expressed a preference for a school that they liked rather than their local school.
