Our school placement and admissions team has seen a significant increase in the numbers of disputes between parents, relating to where their children should go to school. We understand that, when trying to come to a mutual agreement on child arrangements, parental disputes can be extremely upsetting for all involved (including the children).
To support parents in these situations, we have published guidance on parental responsibility and how admissions cases are handled where parents disagree. This guidance is intended to help parents understand their rights and responsibilities in line with the law.
