Fair access to school provision
The School Admissions Code requires each local authority to have a Fair Access Protocol (FAP), which all local schools, academies and free schools must follow.
The policy outlines our arrangements to ensure that pupils are admitted on a fair and equal basis to schools in Slough.
The fair access protocol is used when:
- admissions arrangement has failed and
- a suitable place cannot be secured for your child.
The Fair Access Panel consists of representatives from:
- Slough schools
- the council
- other agencies.
The panel considers all information available and the child's individual circumstances to make an informed decision as to what school would best meet the child's needs.
