Capita Conferences' School Admissions conference announced - 25 September, Manchester

GREATER MANCHESTER, U.K. - July 14, 2015 - PRLog -- A One Day National Conference

School Admissions Conference

Friday 25 September, Manchester

About the event:

Our national School Admissions Conference is perfectly timed to enable you to get to grips with the revised School Admissions Code which came into effect in December 2014.

As the policy of freeing schools from local authority control has gained impetus through the establishment of academies and free schools, hear from the Chief Adjudicator from the Office of the Schools Adjudicator (OSA) on findings from the OSA annual report. Take this opportunity to participate in an interactive panel discussion with schools that are their own admission authority to discuss fairness in their school admissions policy.

With further pressures on local authorities from increased in-year admissions, explore how local authorities, academies and free schools can work together to meet demand and manage oversubscription.

Expert speakers include:

- Chair: Dr John Livesey, Director of Adult and Children’s Services, Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council
- Keynote: Elizabeth Passmore OBE, Chief Adjudicator, Office of the Schools Adjudicator
- Jonathan Lewis, Service Director, Education, People Resources and Corporate Property, Peterborough City  Council
- Gareth Dawkins, Executive Principal, Bradford Academy
- Sharon Chappell, Assistant Ombudsman, Local Government Ombudsman
- Simon Lennox, Headteacher, Walkden High School
- Tanya Callman, Barrister and Legal Trainer, Edulaw Training and Edulaw Chambers
- Karen Hamer, Inclusion Officer, Salford City Council
