Determination of School Admission Arrangements 2026-2027
Pupil Admission Arrangements for 2026-2027
To determine the Local Authority’s pupil admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for the academic year 2026/2027.
The Local Authority is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools and therefore is responsible for consulting upon and determining admission arrangements for those schools. In the case of voluntary aided schools and academies it is the governing body or academy trust Admission Authorities must consult whenever they want to make changes to their policies or every seven years if there are no proposed changes. The last full consultation undertaken by the Local Authority on its admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools took place during the period 4 December 2023 to 19 January 2024 (i.e., within the 7 years limit set by the School Admissions Code). As no changes were proposed for the 2026/27 admission arrangements a full consultation was not required. However, as part of determining admission arrangements for community or voluntary controlled schools, the Local Authority must still consult the governing bodies of those schools where it proposes either to increase or keep the same Published Admission Number (PAN). (All admission authorities must consult where they propose a decrease to the PAN.) The Local Authority consulted community and voluntary controlled schools on its proposed PANs for 2026/2027 during the 2024 autumn term.
There are no proposed changes to Published Admission Numbers for 2026/27
The Council would not meet its statutory duty as set out in the School Admissions Code 2021, and therefore be open to challenge.
