Our proposed framework is clear that reducing places at good schools should always be a last resort. But it is right that the adjudicator can make decisions that are right for the local context, such as reflecting the significant challenges placed on schools in this period of falling rolls. Our measure helps to ensure that all children can access a great local school. We will ensure a robust decision-making framework is in place to protect high-quality education and we will continue to engage with stakeholders, including the Confederation of School Trusts, on this measure, including proposed changes to regulation and the School Admissions Code.
