Standards and Framework Act 1998, that Hampshire County Council, being the Local Education Authority, intends to make a prescribed alteration to Swanmore College of Technology, by enlarging the premises of the school, with effect from September 2003.

In the school year 2003/04, and subsequent school years, admissions to the school will be based on an admission number of 270.

3. The Local Education Authority is the admission authority for the school. Pupils will be admitted to the school in accordance with the arrangements that are published each year prior to the date on which applications for admission must be made. Transport to the school will be provided for pupils who qualify in accordance with the Local Education Authority's published policy.
