The School Admissions Code, which came into force on 1 February 2012, sets out a national framework that ensures that all state-funded school places, including places in academies and free schools, are awarded in a fair and open way. It is the responsibility of every admission authority to ensure that the admission arrangements they determine are compliant with the Code. Other non-maintained schools such as non-maintained special schools and independent schools are free to set their own admissions arrangements.
