Admissions Arrangements 2027/28

Dear Stakeholders/Local Community,

In line with the School Admission Code 2021, we would like to consult with you on the following proposed changes to our 2027/28 Admissions Arrangements. The changes to PAN are advised and supported by Cornwall Council owing to the significant forecast changes in birth rates in Cornwall, including the Camborne and Helston areas.

Notification of proposed reduction in PAN for 2027/28 for Halwin School

A reduction in PAN from 17 to 7 is being proposed for Admissions Arrangements for 2027/28 academic year to reflect the continuous fall of pupils on roll and the forecasted numbers within the local area of Halwin School.

Notification of proposed reduction in PAN for 2027/28 for Roskear School

A reduction in PAN from 60 to 30 is being proposed for Admissions Arrangements for 2027/28 academic year to reflect the continuous fall of pupils on roll and the forecasted numbers within the local area of Camborne.

Notification of proposed reduction in PAN for 2027/28 for Trannack School

A reduction in PAN from 12 to 7 is being proposed for Admissions Arrangements for 2027/28 academic year to reflect the continuous fall of pupils on roll and the forecasted numbers within the local area of Trannack School.

Notification of proposed change to include Marazion School and Penpol School in the Crofty Education Trust’s Admission Arrangements 2027/28

Marazion School and Penpol School joined Crofty Education Trust on 1st April 2025 and 1st October 2025 respectively, and we propose including them within the Trust-wide arrangements.

Notification of proposed amendment to the oversubscription criteria for Marazion School

To make provision for the children of staff at criterion 5, and in so doing, align Marazion School’s oversubscription criteria with other Crofty schools.

Comments are welcomed from 28th November 2025 until 9th January 2026. Please send all comments to admin@croftymat.org

DRAFT Crofty Education Trust-Admissions-2027-28

Responsibility for admissions

The Trustees of Crofty Education Trust have responsibility for approval of the Admissions Policy and admissions arrangements for all member schools within the Trust. They will operate an admissions policy which ensures that all applications for admission to Crofty Education Trust academies are dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the School Admissions and Appeals Codes, including the application of an agreed set of published oversubscription criteria and, where appropriate, adherence to Cornwall Council’s coordinated admissions schemes.

All decisions regarding admission to each academy are the responsibility of Crofty Education Trust. However, it should be noted that Cornwall Council has a statutory duty to co-ordinate the admissions process for reception class applications. In addition, Cornwall Council has opted to assist parents by acting as a “clearing house” for applications to other school year groups.

Crofty schools will participate fully in the Local Authority’s Fair Access Protocol and the Local Authority’s Co-ordinated Admissions Schemes. Details of these schemes are available on the Council’s website (www.cornwall.gov.uk/admissions) or on request from the Local Authority. Closing dates and
other details about the application process will be stated in those Schemes.

Details of the co-ordinated admissions scheme for Reception admissions are available from Cornwall Council School Admissions Team, New County Hall, Truro, TR1 3AY

Telephone: 0300 1234 101

Closing dates, deadlines and timescales (including those relating to late applications) will be as stated in those schemes.
