Academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools

Academies, foundation and voluntary aided schools have their own admission authorities, separate to the West Sussex Local Authority. They set their own admission arrangements which they must publish on their website by 15 March 2024.

Objections to admission arrangements

The Office of the Schools Adjudicator considers objections to an admission authority's arrangements.
