answer text <p>The procedures for admission to education of children below compulsory school age are described in the School Admissions Code. The code states that admission authorities must provide for the admission of all children in the September following their fourth birthday.</p><p> </p><p>However, parents can request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the academic year or until the term in which the child reaches compulsory school age. Parents can also request that their child takes up the place part-time until the child reaches compulsory school age.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education has recently consulted on changes to the School Admissions Code, including making it more explicit that children are entitled to a full time place in the September following their fourth birthday. We plan to publish a revised code in December 2014.</p> more like this

answer text <p>When it is determined that technical issues affected a test, the outcome is annulled and the candidate is allowed a free resit. It is not possible to change the mark awarded for a test, since the score the candidate would have achieved had they not experienced the technical issue cannot be determined. It would, therefore, be inappropriate to change the outcome, for example from fail to pass, without such evidence. Where an appeal is successful, the only option available is to allow the candidate a further attempt at the relevant skills test.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There is a process for raising concerns where there are technical difficulties or exceptional circumstances at the time of taking the test; although this is not called an appeals process, it functions in the same way. Candidates who experience issues with their tests are directed to make the invigilator and test centre aware at the time or to contact the skills tests helpline, currently managed by the contractor Pearson VUE, either by telephone or email. The first stage of the process is conducted by the contractor. Pearson VUE deals with each enquiry by investigating the nature of the concern raised and asking candidates to provide additional evidence where appropriate. In dealing with enquiries, Pearson VUE may contact the test centre, obtain statements from staff or review CCTV footage as necessary to fully investigate and respond to enquiries.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst appeals are dealt with by Pearson VUE in the first instance, the Department for Education retains the right of final decision on all appeals. The process for dealing with appeals is kept under constant review and is being refined as the service migrates from Pearson VUE to learndirect.</p><p> </p>
