St. Chad's CE (C) Primary School - consultation on a reduction in PAN

The local authority is consulting on a reduction to the published admission number for the above school

Last updated: 28th September

Staffordshire County Council wishes to notify the appropriate bodies of its proposal to reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) at St. Chad’s CE (C) Primary School from 48 to 45 pupils with effect from September 2028.

Reducing the PAN to 45 would enable the school to operate with one and a half form of entry. This would provide support for the school’s class organisation arrangements and to provide greater long-term stability in maintaining appropriate class sizes and effective use of resources across the school. 

Please send any queries or comments on this proposal by 5pm on 1 December 2026 to:
