We are consulting on the admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for the 2026/27 academic year. The consultation period commences on 9 December 2024 and closes on 24 January 2025. Please find attached copies of the proposed admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools, together with our proposed Admissions Scheme.
The key changes in the admissions arrangements are:
- Reduce the PAN (Published Admission Number) for Hatfeild Primary School from 60 to 30
- Reduce the PAN for Malmesbury Primary School from 60 to 30
- Reduce the PAN for Poplar Primary School from 90 to 60
- Reduce the PAN for Raynes Park high School from 240 to 180
- Allocation of 20 places in Year 12 and Year 13 at Ricards Lodge High School Sixth Form for students applying through the Harlequins Women's Rugby Academy
- Allocation of 20 places in Year 12 and Year 13 at Rutlish School Sixth Form for students applying through the Male Surrey Cricket Programme
- Community School Admission Arrangements 2026-27
- LB Merton Coordinated Admissions Scheme 2025-26
- Wimbledon Chase and Dundonald APA Map
- Wimbledon Park APA Map
In all cases where a proposed PAN reduction is indicated, this is due to falling demand for places.
