Admission Arrangements – PAN for 2027–2028
Earlier this academic year, a consultation was held regarding the Published Admission Number (PAN) for entry from September 2027.
The consultation ran for seven weeks, from Friday 21st November 2025 to Friday 9th January 2026, and provided an opportunity for parents, carers, staff and the wider community to share their views.
Following careful consideration of the responses received and a review of projected pupil numbers, it has now been decided that the Published Admission Number (PAN) will remain at 40 for the 2027–2028 academic year.
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to engage with the consultation process and share their feedback.
If you have any questions regarding admissions, please contact the school office.
