Policies for the 2019-2020 school year

The following documents relate to the 2019-2020 school year; please note that some documents below may still be in draft form. Some documents will apply to more than one school, and where this is the case, we clearly state this. The admissions policies, published admission numbers and related documents for schools in the City of York area concern how admissions applications and decisions will be made for the 2019-2020 school year.

Following consultation, all admission authorities must formally have set ('determined') their admission arrangements by 28 February 2018 in line with the School Admissions Code. The determination notice contains details of the decision made by the Council's Executive on 8 February 2018, to determine the arrangements for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools.
