Purplerabbit appeal thread (Bucks)

I've a feeling it was around 10 years ago!

Hi Purplerabbit.

As you know, we are also girding our loins for our WHS appeal.

I am finding it impossible to read some of the information on the Net Capacity Assessment sheets from the school - is your copy the same?

All the best

However, they used to have a higher PAN (210) which was reduced to 180 because of 'overcrowding'. Now that the lower number has worked its way through the school, this may have given them some flexibility.

Thank you Etienne. I didn't know that. Do you know when this was. I've been looking at admission policies over the years and think that this must be before 2009 but am not sure.

The PAN was reduced from 210 to 180 for admissions from September 2005. The effect of that has therefore worked its way through the whole school by now.

Some interesting statistics for you, taken from the document "Pupil Numbers on Roll", which is a snapshot of numbers in all Bucks schools each January:

2005
Years 7 - 11: 204, 212, 188, 212, 207. Total: 1023
6th form: 376

2014
Years 7 - 11: 180, 181, 186, 185, 185. Total 917
6th form: 386

The school currently has 96 fewer pupils than it had in January 2005.
