Others – voluntary aided (church) or trust schools, and academies
These schools each have their own admissions criteria. These are described in the relevant section of the main Admissions booklet, or set out in detail in the pdfs below.

We then asked for objections to any of these admissions arrangements to be sent to the Schools Adjudicator by 31 July 2010.
