- the admission arrangements for all remaining community and voluntary controlled schools for September 2019
Full details of the consultation and the changes being proposed are available at Surrey Says (www.surreysays.co.uk).
Why we are consulting
We have a statutory duty to consult on admission arrangements if we intend to make a change.
The changes being proposed are as follows:
- Cranmere Primary School – reduction in published admission number for Reception from 90 to 60
- William Cobbett Primary School – reduction in published admission number for Reception from 40 to 30
- The Dawnay School – introduction of a feeder link from Polesden Lacey Infant School at Year 3
- Reigate Priory School – introduction of a feeder link from Dovers Green and Holmesdale Community infant schools on a tiered basis

What happens next?
After the closing date, responses will be collated and presented to the County Council's decision making Cabinet on 30 January 2018. It will decide whether or not to proceed with the proposed changes as well as determining the admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools for which no changes are proposed. Cabinet’s decision will then need to be ratified by the full County Council on 6 February 2018. Once determined the final admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools will be placed on Surrey's website at www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions.
