So if a faith school that is its own admissions authority changes its oversubscription criteria, from when do the new criteria apply for in-year applications/administration of the waiting list?
The school changed their policy significantly for reception 2018 entry. The new policy was adopted in January 2017 but obviously does not apply for reception 2017 entry.
But from when does the new policy apply for (non reception) wait list administration?
From January 2017 when the policy was adopted, or from the new school year/when the new admissions round opens i.e September 2017, or from September 2018 when the reception kids for whom the new policy applies first start, or another date entirely?
Thanks in advance!
