Consultation on Admission Arrangements for 2027–2028 In accordance with the Department for Education's statutory School Admission Code, admission authorities are required to consult on their admission arrangements whenever changes are proposed, and in any event, at least once every seven years. This process ensures transparency and gives stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed changes. For the 2027–2028 academic year, it is proposed to change the published admission number (PAN) for West Craven High School. The PAN determines the maximum number of pupils that will be admitted to each year group. In accordance with statutory guidance from the Department for Education, this consultation will run for a minimum of six weeks. As an interested party at one or both of the above schools, Pendle Education Trust is keen to hear your views on the proposed changes to the admission arrangements. We warmly invite you to participate in the consultation and share any comments or feedback you may have regarding this matter. Please visit the Admissions page of our website at https://tinyurl.com/28h25aj9 for more information and to share your views.
