Consultation has concluded

A number of schools in Gloucestershire would like to propose reducing their Published Admission Numbers (PANs) with effect from September 2024.

Although the Regulations and Code of Practice relating to school admissions no longer require an admissions authority to consult when maintaining or increasing a school’s PAN, there remains a requirement to consult when the proposal is to reduce a PAN. 

The following schools are seeking comments on the proposed change:


The Rissington School

The school are proposing to reduce their PAN from 45 to 30.

The factors which have been considered by The Rissington School in deciding to consult on this proposal are:

  • A drop in pupil numbers within the local demographic
  • Ensuring the efficient use of resources in school
  • The school is committed to reviewing the PAN if the local context dictates a need for this in the future


Northway Infant School

The school are proposing to reduce their PAN from 60 to 30.
