	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>It is for admissions authorities to decide whether to give priority to siblings in their admissions arrangements, where the school is oversubscribed, and many schools do choose to do this. The Government expects schools to balance prioritising siblings with ensuring places are also available for other local children who do not have a sibling at the school.</p><p>The Department wants fair access to a good school place for every pupil. That is why we routinely keep the admissions system under review and seek regular feedback from stakeholders on the system. Any changes to the School Admissions Code will require a full statutory process, including consultation and parliamentary scrutiny.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 16/03/2018 14:38:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
