Consultation on school admission arrangements

Each school publishes admissions arrangements every year. All admission arrangements must be compliant with the school admission code. If the arrangements change, there must be a consultation before the arrangements are determined.

The Council runs the consultation on behalf of Plymouth schools.

The admission arrangements include:

  • how places are allocated
  • the number of school places
  • how applications are prioritised

To learn more about the consultation and which schools we are consulting for, read the background document.

How to comment

The consultation for the 2026/27 school admission arrangements runs from 2 December to 12 January 2025

Consultation documents

Proposed schemes of coordination for 2026/2027

Coordination schemes are intended to simplify the admission process for parents whilst reducing the likelihood of any child being left without a school place. Coordination establishes a mechanism that ensures that, as far as is practical, every child living in a local authority area who has applied in the normal admissions round receives one, and only one, offer of a school place on the same day.
