The department is committed to amending the School Admissions Code to achieve that aim.</p><p> </p><p>The department is keen to ensure that looked after children are given parity for admission into school as soon as possible, and has asked admission authorities to use their current flexibilities in setting their own admission arrangements to grant children adopted from care overseas second highest admissions priority in their oversubscription criteria.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 14/11/2018 15:34:17 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
