AdmissionsNew HCC School Admissions Software System NewThere is a new school admissions software system to be launched in May 2008 which will replace the existing in house system. The new system has been purchased from an external software company, called Tribal, which specialises in school admissions and supplies many other authorities.Hertfordshire County Council has been developing the new system with Tribal in order to increase functionality for our own particular needs, which in turn will be of benefit to other authorities. Full details.... Early Years Admissions Consultation Results NewThank you to all those who responded to the recent Early Years Admissions Consultation, we received a high level of responses. The consultation proposals and results are below. Proposal One: That the nursery admissions process should be coordinated locally rather than centrally from 2009. Contact the Early Years Team on 01438 844795 DCSF Guidance on Pupil Contact Time for Secondary & KS3 PupilsThe DCSF have issued a letter to advise that, in the 2007/08 school year, secondary schools in England will be given the option of decreasing the minimum of 380 sessions (190 days) by one day to 189 days. The purpose is to allow secondary schools to replace one day of teaching with a curriculum planning day, specifically to prepare for the new curriculum which will be phased in from 2008. The DCSF recommends that any Governing Body which chooses this option should make an early decision on a proposed date, to take place between January and July 2008, and ask head teachers to inform parents, before the second half of the Autumn 2007 term starts. The change will also apply to any middle school or special school which teaches Key Stage 3. This change is still subject to Parliamentary approval.
