HCC’s proposed changes are:

4. Retain the remainder of the county council’s existing admission arrangements for 2025/26, including PANs, Relevant Areas and schemes of coordination

  1. If the proposal to close Hexton Primary School is approved, to amend the admission arrangements for Pirton Primary School to give increased priority to children from the parish of Hexton.
  2. Amend the schemes of coordination to clarify The funding agreement process for new or proposed free schools, the process for informing the home LA of a school’s decision to increase their PAN and to reduce the timescale for responding to allocations from 14 days to 7. This will allow more time for effective processing of responses prior to the next allocation round.

The consultation period runs until 11 December 2023. Please visit www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/admissions2025 for more information and to respond online.
