P-05-832 To Amend the School Admissions Code Relating to Summer-Born Children. Correspondence from Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, 15.04.2019

Dear Colleague

Thank you for your letter regarding Petition P-05-832 To Amend the School Admissions Code Relating to Summer-Born Children. Please accept my sincere apologises for the delay in my response.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council publishes it’s School Admission Policy annual and although there is no specific provision in relation to summer –born children the Local  Authority is mindful of the provision set out in the School Admission Code 005/2013 in relation to admission of  children outside the normal age group.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, in relation to summer –born children have not received any applications requesting deferral of admission.

If a request was submitted the Local Authority would consider each case individually and make its decision in consultation with the parent/carer and the school.

Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
