Miriam Lord Primary School Proposes Reduction in Admission Numbers

Consultation launched on reducing Published Admission Number from 60 to 45

Miriam Lord Primary School has announced a consultation regarding a proposed reduction in its Published Admission Number (PAN). The school is considering lowering its PAN from 60 to 45 starting from September 2028.

Details of the Proposal

The PAN refers to the number of places available for new admissions each academic year. Currently, Miriam Lord Primary School admits up to 60 pupils annually. The proposed change would reduce this figure by 15 places.

This consultation is part of the school’s process to review and adjust its admission arrangements in response to changing circumstances.

Next Steps

• The consultation period allows stakeholders, including parents, local residents, and education professionals, to provide feedback on the proposed reduction.
• After the consultation closes, the school and relevant authorities will consider the responses before making a final decision.
• If approved, the reduced PAN will take effect from the 2028/29 academic year.

Context

Changes to admission numbers can impact local school capacity and community planning. Adjustments such as this are typically made to reflect demographic trends, school resources, or strategic planning by the local education authority.

Further information about the consultation, including how to submit responses, is available through the school’s or local authority’s official channels.
