Consultation process
Statutory
consultation is undertaken for a 6 week period commencing no earlier than 1
October 2020 and must be completed by no later than 31 January 2021. Halton is consulting from 1 October 2020 to
13 November 2020. Consultation is
undertaken via a comprehensive consultation document on the Council’s website
for parents and carers to access. The
consultation is also issued via the Local Authority Circular to all primary and
secondary schools. Neighbouring local
authorities, academy schools (who are their own admission authority) and the
Diocesan authorities representing voluntary aided schools in Halton are also
consulted, together with the governing bodies of all schools in Halton via the
Strategic Director’s Autumn Term Report to Governors.
Representations can only be made as part of the statutory consultation process and all consultees are aware of the deadline which is 13 November 2020. Once the arrangements are determined, objections can then only be made to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator within the prescribed timescale.
