REDUCTION IN PUBLISHED ADMISSION NUMBERS – CONSULTATION

Consultation –Tottenhall Infant School reduction of Published Admission Number (PAN)

The Published Admission Number (PAN) at Tottehall Infant School is currently 90. This means that the number of pupils admitted to the school in Reception each year is a maximum of 90. The Governors and Senior Leadership Team at Tottenhall Infant School wish to reduce this by 30 places which will result in an annual pupil intake of 60 effective September 2026 onward.

Reducing the PAN will assist the school to provide stability in its long-term planning and allow the school to secure high-quality educational outcomes for the pupils currently on our roll, while continuing to provide an appropriate number of places for future pupil numbers in line with demand in the Palmers Green/Wood Green area. 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.

The Governing Body of Tottenhall Infant School is seeking comments on the proposed change. It is important to the Governors and Senior Leadership Team to consider the views of our parents and the wider community. If you would like to contribute to the consultation, please use the links posted on the website (available from Monday 2nd December) to access further information.
