What happens if a school ignores the adjudicator's determination on their admissions policy?

[martiniextra]

A well known grammar school in my area had an admissions adjudication in 2014 that it has ignored. The original objection was not upheld, but the adjudicator nevertheless found several issues with the school's sixth form admissions policy (asking for innapropriate info and references, making subjective judgements, etc) and told the school to amend them. They didn't.

Apart from being wide open to appeal by anyone with the nous to spot it, what can be done if a school ignores an adjudication?

Hoping @prh47bridge et al might know.

Something similar happened in Greenwich a few years ago albeit not a grammar school and not sixth form. If I remember rightly, it was picked up by the adjudicator who'd required each of the schools involved to forward their corrected admissions policies. This school either didn't, or did but fudged things they'd been told to changed. I believe the school was directed to make the changes and those were checked.

Anyone can object to a school’s admissions policy, you don’t have to be a parent. You could just contact the adjudicator and reference your current concerns and link with the previous case.

They should be referred to the adjudicator again over the issues that have not been fixed.

The school must comply. Their funding agreement (assuming the school is an academy) stipulates that they must implement the adjudicator's decision and sets out a timescale for doing so. Ultimately, if they refuse to comply, they could be referred to the ESFA and lose their funding.
