Fair Access
The law requires that each Local Authority must have a Fair Access Protocol (FAP), agreed with the majority of schools in its area to ensure that for in-year admissions unplaced children, especially the most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. In agreeing a protocol, the Local Authority must ensure that no school - including those with available places - is asked to take a disproportionate number of children who have been excluded from other schools, or who have challenging behaviour. Ellen Wilkinson Primary School has signed up to the LB Newham’s Fair Access Protocol.
