Proposed Admission Arrangements for Community Schools 2028-2029
The Consultation on Community School Admission Arrangements 2028-2029 is open until 14th December 2026
Every year, the Council seeks views on the proposed admission arrangements for community (local authority maintained) schools, in accordance with the Department for Education's School Admissions Code.
We are now consulting on the admission arrangements for community schools for the 2028-2029 academic year.
There are no proposed changes to the admission criteria from those previously determined for community schools. However, we are proposing reductions to the Published Admission Number (PAN) at a small number of schools. PAN is the number of children that can be admitted to the Reception year group each September.
The Council works closely with schools on place planning and school organisation. Factors such as pupil forecasts and surplus places are reviewed regularly with headteachers and help inform proposals to change PANs where appropriate.
What Are We Asking?
We are seeking views on the proposed admission arrangements for community schools for the 2028-2029 academic year.
While there are no proposed changes to the admission criteria, we are proposing reductions to the Published Admission Number (PAN) at the following schools:
School | Current PAN | Proposed PAN |
|---|---|---|
Chatsworth Primary School | 90 | 60 |
Hounslow Heath School | 150 | 120 |
Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School | 90 | 60 |
