Admission arrangements for all schools in Hartlepool

It is the responsibility of each school’s admission authority to make sure their admission arrangements follow the School Admissions Code. For community schools, Hartlepool Borough Council is the admission authority. For academies, voluntary aided, and foundation schools, the governing body or trust is responsible.

Hartlepool Borough Council must publish the determined admission arrangements for all schools in the borough. These arrangements will be listed in the table below as they are received.

Coordinated schemes for admissions

We are responsible for setting the coordinated admissions schemes for all primary and secondary schools in the town.

These schemes provide the framework for managing applications during the normal admissions round and for in-year applications.

The coordinated schemes include:

  • setting the timetable for applications
  • providing the common application form
  • receiving and processing applications
  • allocating school places
  • sending out school place offers
  • managing appeal hearings
