The Cabinet considered the report of the Acting Director of Children’s Services inviting the Cabinet to determine the Authority’s admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools and the co-ordinated schemes for 2014-2015, this was a statutory requirement.  The report also advised of an option arising from a review of the selective testing arrangements in Wirral and invited Cabinet to agree in principle to this change taking place. 

RESOLVED: That

(1)  the proposed admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools and the Wirral co-ordinated schemes for 2014-2015 be approved; and

(2)  the principle of joining a test provider’s Consortium of schools for non-Catholic grammar selective testing be approved.
