Just interested to know a bit more about how this works as I am wondering about the implications in a few years time.
Basically our school is a small village school with a PAN of 20 and mixed year classes (though not reception which is always kept seperate)but for the past 3 years we have had 2-4 kids over, not necessarily on appeal either AFAIK I think the head has been happy to take extras.
Prior to the past 3 or 4 years the school has not taken it's full PAN of 20 and kids have left so higher up the school there are spare places. So I think this is why the school has taken extras into YR as the school is not full overall.
However what happens now when the current KS1, all with over full classes become KS2? It will throw the class mixing a bit as for example normally we have a Y5/Y6 class but with these numbers that would mean around 45 kids in that class which surely can't happen? And what happens if the school continues to accept over PAN?
I can't work out if the school is somehow trying to expand??
Thanks for any info, I find it a bit puzzling.
