Census Day - For information the Schools Admissions Team have been and are working
overtime and weekends to get as many pupils in schools by Census Day. One of the challenges is the Team having to catch up after having six weeks (or longer) of admission decisions coming in at the same time after

and families moving into the City this year, so there will inevitably be later
arrivals.
