Impact of falling primary school rolls in Southwark

[legalalien]

There’s a really interesting discussion of Southwark’s strategy for dealing with this issue at last week’s Local Economy and Scrutiny Commission, Posting link.  ED is in planning area 5, it looks like the next round of proposed changes only involves a PAN (pupil admission number) reduction at one academy in the Goose Green area (not sure that they can force PAN reductions on academies, they did also note that some of the schools where they were suggesting reductions were already below their permitted PAN.).

 

It’s the first agenda item.

Locally, seems as though they are looking at a reduction in the PAN (published admission number) at Goose Green and Bessemer Grange.
