PAN at STRS increasing to 120 for Sept 2016 entry
We went to the open evening today at STRS and their info leaflet said there were 120 places at the school. I checked with Mr Morgan in case it was for 2015, but sadly not. This may be useful info for yr5 parents though.

A school can't change its official PAN without giving some notice, which may be why there is an official delay. However, I think there are more than 108 boys in just about every year in the school now - some have joined in Y9 this year I know for sure, and similar last year.

Arghhhhhhh, this is definitely starting to feel personal now. Not only did we have the brand spanking new exam where no-one knew what to expect and then have to wait 3 weeks longer than previous exams for the results, they are now increasing the number of boys they are taking beginning next year!!!!!!!!! Off to wallow in self-pity now.

Calm down SM .I think you will find that they exceed PAN anyway. The official increase will reflect current practice. I think there are 30 boys in most classes now. Maybe the extra places are filled by appellants and in-year applicants.

Only kidding Amber (am happy with Crypt too, so all good). Presumably the in-years and appeals would push the 120 up further. Out of interest then, could they be adding an extra class do you think?

Almost definitely not. The previous head, I believe, acknowledged that a PAN of 108 was an anomaly and a bit silly, especially as appeals tended to bring up the classes to 28 or 29 anyway; and I get the impression that there has been a feeling for a while that 30 in a class would be fine. I am not privy to any special information, I just think it most unlikely that anyone would want to expand the place.Stressed?Moi? wrote:Only kidding Amber (am happy with Crypt too, so all good).
