REASONS
RESOLVED:
 

1.    
Local Authorities must determine and publish the admission
arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools
annually to ensure compliance with the School Admissions Code
(2021)

2.    
The reductions in PAN are to ensure that schools are
supported when facing falling pupil numbers due to a drop in the
primary school population.
 
ALTERNATIVE
OPTIONS:
The Council
consulted to potentially reduce the PAN for Boothville Primary
School from 90 to 60 and Roade Primary School from 60 to 30, and to
increase the PAN for Harlestone Primary from 8 to 10. No objections
to these proposals were received so it is proposed to proceed with
a reduction in PAN for both Boothville and Roade, and add
Harlestone Manor parish to the linked area for Harlestone Primary
School. Following discussions with Harlestone Primary School it has
been agreed to increase PAN to 12 (rather than 10).
