Consultation must run for at least six weeks between 1 October 2015 and 31 January 2016 and admission arrangements for 2017 must be determined by 28 February 2016.

 

This report seeks authorisation to proceed to consultation on the following:

·         Reduction in PAN for West Ewell Infant School (due to become an all through primary school in September 2017) from 120 to 60

 

In addition, this report provides a summary of other proposed changes to PAN in 2017 which are not subject to consultation.
