I move amendment No. 64:

In page 18, to delete lines 5 to 12 and substitute the following:

“(h) provide that a decision on an application for admission shall be based on—

(i) the implementation of the school’s admission policy including, where applicable, the annual admission notice of the school, and

(ii) the information provided by the applicant in the application for admission received before the closing date set out in the annual admission notice of the school or, where appropriate, the date as otherwise determined by the school in accordance with this Act or regulations made under this Act,”.

The purpose of amendment No. 64 is to make clear that the school’s admission policy must provide that decisions on applications for admission must be based on the implementation of the school’s admission policy, the admission notice and the information provided by the applicant within the relevant timeline set out in the admission notice or the timeline as otherwise applicable to that application under the Bill.
