Choosing a school

Parents have a constitutional right to choose the kind of school to which they want to send their children and have a right to educate them at home if they wish.

There is no absolute requirement on schools to admit any particular student. Schools are required to publish their admissions policy.

Schools are subject to equal status legislation and to the constitutional requirements on religion.
