Assessing the capacity of schools
The capacity of a school is the number of pupil places it can accommodate. Department for Education statutory guidance describes the method of assessing the net capacity of maintained mainstream schools. The net capacity is based on the number, size and type of teaching spaces, and the method also allows some flexibility to suit the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs and admission arrangements.
Published Admissions Number (PAN)
The Published Admissions Number (PAN) is the number of school places that the admission authority must offer in the age group at which pupils will normally be admitted to the school.
A Published Admissions Number of 60 is proposed for the amalgamated school to provide reasonable headroom over the anticipate demand for places, and as a multiple of 30 which is commonly applied.
