It’s Admissions Time!
As boards get to grips with their work for the autumn term, it is important that all boards consider if they are compliant when it comes to their role in the admissions process.
School admissions is a complex subject and requires an understanding of how the category of school determines the work of the board. DAG listened to clerks who told us that they would welcome some support around the governance role in school admissions. As a result DAG developed the ‘DAG Busy Clerks Guide to Admissions’. The guide created in conjunction with the Local Authority and the Diocese provides information about the role the board plays in this important and complicated aspect of education.
DAG has many busy guides for clerks and governors covering key areas of governance, updated for the start of this academic year, find them all on our website in the resources section.
