School admissions forum

The Newport School Admissions Forum is a statutory committee that meets twice per academic year to look at how the council meets the Welsh Government’s School Admissions Code for a fair admissions system for English and Welsh-medium education.

Members are appointed by the council and include representatives from organisations involved in education in Newport.
