Consultation description
The department is seeking views on how we can change our approach to deciding whether to grant additional places at an oversubscribed school for named children by way of Temporary Variation (TV) policy.
When a mainstream school is oversubscribed with applications, it may apply to the department to admit additional, named children. TV Policy, which determines whether additional places will be approved, has not be the subject of a fundamental review in over a decade.
The TV Policy does not cover the Sixth Form TV Policy or the Temporary Flexibility Policy which is a temporary increase in the approved enrolment numbers for statutory pre-school settings. It also does not cover Special schools, which do not have approved admissions and enrolment numbers set by the department.
