(8)If the adjudicator determines under subsection (5)(b) that another school is to be required to admit the child—
(a)the admission authority for the school shall admit the child to the school, and
(b)if the admission authority are not the governing body of the school, the admission authority shall give notice in writing to the governing body and head teacher of the school of the adjudicator's decision.
