As the Assistant Director - Education Access I lead the services that ensure our children and young people are able to access their entitlement to education.

We administer the admissions process for primary and secondary schools places across the borough. We provide travel assistance, information and support to help parents and carers access school provision for their children. In addition, we maintain the overview of children missing education, undertaking checks and tracking progress in returning them to education. We also work collaboratively with schools and Regeneration and Planning departments in forecasting future demand for school places.
