In year transfer

[Dacadactyl]

Does anyone know what criteria an admissions authority uses when deciding upon admitting a child via an in year transfer?

Do they have to follow some sort of guidance, or can the governing body (who are the admissions authority in this case) admit whoever they like? Can they exceed their Published Admissions Number if they decide they are happy to do so or not?

@Takeachance18 thank you. I am not sure whether this is the case. Looking at the school's own figures, they are substantially over PAN in 2 year groups, slightly over in 2 others and slightly under in another.
