The National College for Teaching and Leadership plans to publish updated management information by the end of December 2014. This will include line by line initial and final allocations by school (and provider) by subject and will enable the calculation of relinquishments.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 06/11/2014 16:22:05 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p>All academy schools' funding agreements require them to comply with admissions legislation and the school admissions code. The Secretary of State for Education, can agree different arrangements (‘derogations') for individual academies and free schools but would only do so in limited circumstances where it would benefit local children.</p><p>Derogations are contained within the admission annex of the relevant funding agreements published at:</p><p><a href="http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/" target="_blank">http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/</a></p><p>All free schools are able to allocate places outside of local authority co-ordination in their first year; while all academy schools opened since 2012 can prioritise admissions for pupils eligible for the pupil and service premiums. We would also permit those opening before 2012 to change their funding agreements in order to give priority to such pupils.</p><p>Specific derogations have also been agreed for individual schools. As stated on the Department's website, where parents have worked hard to create a free school, we will consider requests to allow a limited number of founder's children in that school to get priority in admissions. We have permitted a small number of free schools to give priority to founder's children. These are detailed in the schools' funding agreements. Specific derogations are also in place for three academy schools set up under the previous administration, in Belvedere Academy (Liverpool) for a transitional period until 2015 to allow pupils on the roll of an independent school that used to be part of Belvedere to be admitted to the academy; in Priory LSST (Lincoln), to permit it to select 10% of its students by technology and in Ormiston Academy (Birmingham) to allow it – as a regional centre for the arts – to select the majority of its pupils by aptitude for the performing arts.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
