Abstract
Banding is an admission arrangement which uses
pupil’s scores in tests to ensure they admit children with
a range of prior attainment. Although primary schools
are not prohibited, banding is currently only used for
admission to secondary schools. A school’s admission
authority will, on the basis of the applicant’s
performance in a test, allocate the child to one of four
or five ability bands.
