Year 10 educational opportunities

Local authorities are required to write to all parents of Year 9 children with information about schools/colleges which provide a technical or more science-based curriculum from Year 10 and are within a reasonable travelling distance of their home address.

This process is for admissions which are outside the formal admissions rounds eg primary to secondary transfer.

This letter ensures that parents are aware of wider choices open to them and their children as they enter Key Stage 4.
