has anyone come across anything official about the rumours that 2020 entry may be restricted to Birmingham residents? I heard there was a consultancy going on but I know plenty of Solihull children who are currently studying for next years exam and would be unfair for the rules to be changed without adequate warning.
In order to introduce a change to the admissions policy for 2020, schools would have to be consulting - i.e. pulishing their intentions on their website, advising other stakeholders, such as primary schools affected etc and inviting comments / objections - at the moment, ready for their admissions policy for that year to be published at the beginning of March 2019.
Do any of the schools have such a document on their website?
Eta, sorry, the consultation period must be 6 weeks between 1st October and 31st January (was thinking 31st December). So there is still time for the consultation dicument to be made public.
