Consultation Opens on Proposed PAN Reduction at Two Bradford Schools

Local authorities seek public views on changes to Oakworth and Oldfield Primary Schools

Bradford Council has launched a consultation regarding a proposed reduction in the Pupil Admission Number (PAN) at Oakworth Primary School and Oldfield Primary School. The changes, if approved, would take effect from September 2027.

Details of the Proposed Changes

• Oakworth Primary School: Reduction of PAN from 60 to 45 pupils per year group.
• Oldfield Primary School: Reduction of PAN from 12 to 10 pupils per year group.

The consultation aims to gather feedback from parents, carers, and the wider community on these proposed adjustments to school intake numbers.

Background and Next Steps

The Pupil Admission Number (PAN) is the maximum number of pupils a school can admit into a particular year group. Adjusting the PAN can affect class sizes, resource allocation, and overall school capacity.

The consultation period allows stakeholders to express their views before any final decisions are made. Details on how to participate in the consultation are available through Bradford Council’s official channels.

Further information and updates regarding the consultation and any resulting decisions will be communicated as the process progresses.
