Admission arrangements 2022 and 2023

Wokingham Borough Council admission arrangements 2022 to 2023

Every school has a set of rules known as admission arrangements to help the allocation of places. Admissions authorities (the council and voluntary-aided, academies and free schools) use these rules to allocate places if they receive more applications than places available.
