Primary School Admission Arrangements Consultation
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
After several years of expanding primary schools across the city, we have recently seen reducing birth rates and lower demand for places in reception at primary school. This trend is forecast to continue. Where schools have high numbers of spare places this creates financial difficulties for the schools. The proposed reductions are to help to keep enough spaces to allow for parental choice in the city (5%), and at the same time to make sure that we continue to have our high level of good and outstanding primary schools in the city.
Coventry City Council is proposing to reduce the Published Admissions Number for three community primary schools starting in September 2021. These schools are:
School Name
Current Number
Proposed Number
Aldermans Green Primary
90
60
Frederick Bird Primary
120
90
Spon Gate Primary
60
30
The reductions will apply to reception in 2021 and for each year after this. The size of all higher year groups in the school will remain unchanged whilst children progress through the school.
This consultation is now closed. It ran from 27th November 2019 to 8th January 2020.
