Primary and secondary school admission arrangements and co-ordinated scheme for the 2020/2021 academic year
Decision Maker: Director: Education and Skills
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Minor changes to the wording/phrasing of
published school admission arrangements were required to be written
in line with guidance from the Department for Education. Changes
were also made for clarification, defining key terminology and the
changing dates for the admissions process. The in-year application
form has also been rewritten to comply with the DfE guidance.
A reduction in pupil admission numbers (PAN) at Hannah More
Primary, May Park Primary and St Michael’s on the Mount
Primary are required due to falling birth rates and the resulting
drop in demand for primary school places. The pupil admission
numbers at St Werburgh’s Primary School have been reduced due
to uncertainties regarding accommodation on the school site and
deadlines to set the PAN, as laid out in the School Admissions
Code.
Decision:

arrangements and co-ordinated schemes for primary and secondary
schools for the 2020/2021 academic year.
