Admission arrangements 2022 to 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 at the school.

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.

Read our admission policies for community and voluntary controlled schools, below.
