Every year, the admission arrangements for schools and academies are reviewed and determined. We have undertaken a consultation, which ran from 3 November to 15 December 2025 at 4:00pm.

The key proposed change is to our Published Admission Number (PAN). Due to a national decline in birth rates, we believe it is both sensible and sustainable to reduce our PAN from its current level of 90 to 60 pupils for Reception intake from September 2027. PAN refers to the maximum number of pupils that the school will admit to a specific year group. While schools may admit above their PAN, this number sets the standard intake for each academic year. This will be reviewed every year to ensure our numbers are in line with national and local birth rates.

Please be assured that this change will not affect children who currently attend the school.

Our full admissions criteria and proposed policy for 2027–2028 is available below. 

We have collated parents' responses and below is an overview from the end of the consultation period.
