Hertfordshire County Council's proposed school admission arrangements for 2028-29

The county council proposes the following changes to its admission arrangements for 2028-29:

1.  To reduce the published admission number (PAN) at the following 5 community primary schools: 

• Morgans School, Hertford, from 60 to 30
• Prae Wood Primary School, St Albans, from 60 to 30
• Redbourn Primary School, Redbourn, from 60 to 30
• Sandridge School, St Albans, from 30 to 15
• The Grove Junior School, Harpenden, from 90 to 60.

2.  To retain the remainder of the county council's existing admission arrangements for 2028-29, including PANs, Relevant Areas and schemes of coordination.

For the 2027-28 and 2028-29 processes, we amended our address definition following changes to legislation.
