CofE welcomes Chief Schools Adjudicator's survey into compliance with the Schools Admissions Code

3 November 2008

The Church of England’s Board of Education has today responded to the publication of the results of the recent survey of school admissions policies by Sir Philip Hunter, the Chief Schools Adjudicator.

The Revd Janina Ainsworth, Chief Education Officer for the Church of England, comments:

“The Church of England welcomes the opportunity that this exercise has given local authorities and governing bodies to revisit their admissions policies to ensure that they are fair, simple and transparent.

“Sir Philip has made clear his appreciation of steps the Church has taken to ensure all our schools are aware of their obligations under the Admissions Code; we in turn are grateful for the work that has taken place at a local level to correct any previous technical errors and to clarify any unclear aspects within admissions policies.

“We will continue to work with dioceses to support Church of England schools across the country in complying with all the requirements of the Admissions Code.”
