Consultation process
A six week Statutory consultation will take place between 1 October 2017 and 31 January 2018, via the Council’s web site and the Local Authority Circular to all primary and secondary schools. Neighbouring Local Authorities, Academy and Free Schools (who are their own admission authority) and the Diocesan authorities representing voluntary aided schools in Halton are also consulted.
Representations can only be made as part of the statutory consultation process, the deadline for which is 17 November 2017. Once the arrangements are determined, objections can only be made to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator, within a prescribed timescale.
