Any application for a place must be considered according to each school’s admission arrangements, regardless of the child’s immigration status.
Before considering an application for a place, the local authority or the admission authority for the school will need to establish that the child is in the UK.
許多學校優先考慮其家庭住址最接近學校的孩子。
不論孩子的移民身份, 都必須根據每所學校的入學安排考慮任何入學申請。
