P-03-293 Review of Schools Admission Code

Petition wording

We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Assembly Government to review the School Admissions Code, as the current Code discriminates against children who are able to speak Welsh (Paragraph 2.26) and children who have a faith or religion (Paragraph 2.39). Also, the policy needs to be amended to give children who were in nursery education in a Welsh school priority for the reception class.
