Admissions to School
Gypsy and Traveller children should be admitted to schools on the same basis as any other children. However, Gypsy and Traveller parents should be aware that some schools may still rely upon admissions policies that disadvantage their children; for instance, an admissions policy which gives preference to children whose older brothers and sisters have already attended the school could be argued to unfairly disadvantage and unlawfully discriminate against Gypsy and Traveller families who have recently moved into the area.
