Consultation on Proposed Changes to the School Admissions Arrangements 2027–28

Closes 9 Jan 2026

Opened 14 Nov 2025

Overview

Leicester City Council is responsible for setting the admission arrangements for all its mainstream community and voluntary controlled schools in the city. We are proposing a change to be implemented to the current admission arrangements from the start of the 2027/28 academic year, which is to reduce the published admission number (PAN) at Coleman Primary School from 90 to 60 places.

This means the school would offer 60 places for new pupils starting in Reception each year, instead of the current 90.
