answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>The School Admissions Code requires that all school places, including those offered to pupils on a school’s waiting list, are allocated strictly in accordance with a school’s published admissions criteria. This ensures fairness and transparency in the process and means that those applying for admission to a school understand from the outset their likelihood of gaining a place. It also means that there is no incentive for those who do not closely match a school’s admissions criteria, to remain on a waiting list while occupying a place at an alternative school.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 09/02/2015 15:43:52 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
