In Year Admissions
Although we are a popular school, places do occasionally become available in year groups as families move.
Our current PAN for each year group is as follows:
- Reception - 60
- Year 1 - 90
- Year 2 - 65
- Year 3 - 60
- Year 4 - 90

Please note, some of our year group PANs have been reduced from 90. We have reduced our PAN to maintain a specific number of classes of an appropriate size. This number of classes reflects our available resources.
