This process is managed at a local level by either the local authority, where it coordinates the in-year admissions for schools in their area, or directly by the admission authority of the school.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/06/2019 16:51:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
