The co-ordinated scheme is intended to make admission to school easier, more transparent and less stressful for all parents and carers. You can find more information on how the scheme applies to both Primary and Secondary admissions by following the links below.

• Nottinghamshire's co-ordinated Secondary scheme

In addition, Nottinghamshire's admissions protocol for secondary schools (fair access protocol) covers all children within the county who transfer from primary to secondary schools, or who transfer between secondary schools (including special schools and PRUs). It describes the special arrangement for 'hard to place pupils'.

It aims to provide a professional and transparent way for all concerned to see that there is a recognised and agreed fairness about admissions and transfer processes. You can find out more by following the link below:
