Implementation Date (not before meeting on)
Tue 27 Jul 2021
Purpose
To report the requirement to seek an in-year variation to the Birmingham admission arrangements to ensure compliance with the new 2021 School Admissions Code (the Code), which requires children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted to be given equal first priority in admission arrangements, alongside looked after children (LAC) and children who were previously looked after by English local authorities (PLAC). This advice refers to these children as internationally adopted previously looked after children – “IAPLAC”.
