We are consulting on our Determined Admissions Arrangements for all schools under Pioneer Academies Community Trust regarding Admission Arrangements for 2027-28.

The admissions arrangements are set out in the Trust's Admissions Policy. For Parkside Primary, Carlton Primary, and Summerfields Primary we are proposing no change to the current arrangements.  However, for Greenfield Primary we are proposing to reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) from 40 to 30 with effect from September 2027 and for all subsequent years. This change is in response to the projected fall in pupil numbers within the local area.  

Please note Carlton Primary's PAN was reduced from 40 to 30 in 2020, although the school has taken additional children over PAN in recent years. This consultation is also to confirm that the PAN remains at 30.

A full copy of the proposed admission arrangements and coordinated scheme can be found on the school websites;

This consultation will end at 4pm on 31st January 2026, please submit any responses to:

Email - trust@pioneeract.org.uk

The admission arrangements for all PACT schools for 2027-28 will be determined by 28th February 2026 and published by 15th March.

Thank you for your continued support.
