Admissions
Starting school, or moving from one school to another can be a worrying time for both parents and children. Wakefield Local Authority aim to make the school admissions process as painless and trouble free as they can. If problems do arise, for example, if the LA cannot offer your child a place at the school you want, the School Admissions Team will discuss alternatives with you and provide you with details of the appeals arrangements including the timetable for organising and hearing appeals.

The Local Offer was first introduced in the Green Paper (March 2011) as a local offer of all services to support disabled children and children with SEN and their families. This easy to understand information will set out what is normally available in schools to help children with lower-level SEN as well as the options available to support families who need additional help to care for their child.
