School Admissions Arrangement for the 2027-28 School Year

The Council's consultation on school admission arrangements for September 2027 onwards has now ended.

Council Cabinet has met and approved Kingsway's request to reduce its PAN (Published Admission Number) from 60 to 45 for the Reception year group due to enroll in September 2027.

• the school is seeing a fall in demand which is linked to a decline in the birth rate;
• the proposed admission number of 45 still ensures the straightforward organisation of classes;
• the proposed PAN change will offer the school stability in terms of pupil numbers and class structure.

• pupil projection information demonstrates a clear decline in pupils numbers;
• there would be no changes to the physical capacity of the school which is able to accommodate up to 60 pupils in each year group;
• the physical accommodation and built capacity of the school will not be reduced in such a way as to make the decrease irreversible in future years;
• the school currently has 387 children on roll, fewer than the current PAN of 60 which has available places for 420 children;
• the school currently has an average of 55 pupils on roll in each year group which is below the current PAN of 60. However, there is a clear decline in pupil numbers, the average number of pupils per year group in Reception to Year 3 is 51.
