Consultation Outcome
In October we informed you that, in accordance with The Schools Admissions Code 2021 which sets out the requirement for all admissions authorities to undertake statutory consultation where they propose a variation to the Published Admission Number (PAN) of a school, we would be having a consultation period between 13th October 2025 - 23rd November 2025 regarding some changes to our Admissions policy. The proposed changes were as follows: -
- Increase PAN (Published Admissions Number) for Reception from 56 to 60
- Increase PAN (Published Admissions Number) for Year 7 admissions from 84 to 90
- Removal of criterion 2 – Children of parents who are Founders
- Inclusion of the electoral division of Pevensey and Stone Cross within criterion 5 (previously 6)
The aim of these changes were to maintain the Gildredge House ethos which is to ensure the school remains accessible to all children irrespective of where they reside. Furthermore, Gildredge House aims to ensure that the arrangements continue to uphold the vision and ethos of the school and that they comply with all relevant admissions law.
