Issue details

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.
