The Bill would give children of serving armed forces personnel a high-priority right to secure a school place outside the normal admission rounds. It aims to help families who move frequently due to military postings by making it easier for their children to access suitable schools. It also includes related provisions to support how these admissions would work.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the Commons. It has not yet become law and would need to progress through further stages in both Houses to do so.
