School admissions consultation 2026

Closes 31 Jan 2025

Changes to school published admission numbers

The published admission number (PAN) for a school is the maximum number of new pupils it will accept in a single year. Changes to the PAN usually occur when the local demand for school places changes.

An increase in the PAN generally reflects the need for more school places in the local area.

If a school's intake falls well below its PAN, this leads to pressure on its budget. This is because funding is received on a per-pupil basis, but the school is required to plan for enough teaching space, staff and facilities for the full number of possible pupils under the PAN. In these circumstances a school may decide to request a reduction in its PAN.

We are proposing to increase the PAN at these schools:
