Schools - secondary managed moves / negotiated transfers

Secondary school managed moves and negotiated transfers

31 August 2022

Your request  

1. How many secondary managed moves or negotiated transfers occurred in the 2018/19 academic year? If possible, please provide the total number and breakdown for each year of secondary if numbers are large enough to meet suppression rules.

2. How many of the total number of managed moves in secondary in 2018/19 were ‘successful’, i.e. the pupil joined the receiving school’s roll after the trial period?

3. How many of the total number of managed moves in secondary in 2018/19 were ‘unsuccessful’, i.e. the pupil returned to the home school?

4. What were the outcomes for pupils who experienced an ‘unsuccessful’ managed move?

Our response

1. The LA was not advised of any Managed Moves during that academic year.  Managed Moves are now ratified within Fair Access Panel (FAP) procedures for monitoring purposes.
