School admission arrangements 2023 to 2024

Admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools 2023 to 2024

There are no changes to the general admission arrangements for community and controlled schools in Derbyshire other than:

• changes to key dates in the admissions process for 2023 to 2024 which are set out in the coordinated scheme
• changes to a number of published admission numbers

Changes to published admission numbers (PANs)

Reductions

New Mills School: from 171 to 150 (review of capacity).

Blackwell Primary School: from 24 to 20 (review of accommodation).

Increases

Brockwell Junior School: from 60 to 64 (review of accommodation).

Combs Infant School: from 8 to 10 (additional accommodation).

Amendments to normal areas

Amendments to normal areas are as follows.

The creation of a shared normal area between Highfields Spencer Academy and Findern Community Primary School.

The normal area of Highfields Spencer Academy was previously within the normal area of Findern Community Primary School. We consulted to create a discrete normal area for Highfields from September 2021, removing it from that of Findern. It is now necessary to temporarily designate the normal area of Highfields as a shared normal area with Findern.

This is to ensure that, due to the gradual opening of year groups at Highfields, children of all primary ages can be designated a normal area school. This shared arrangement will need to stay in place until September 2027.

A PDF of the normal area map can be provided by requesting a copy by email to admissions.transport@derbyshire.gov.uk showing how the development relates to the normal area of Findern Community Primary School.

The creation of shared normal area between Chellaston Fields Spencer Academy and Sale and Davy’s CE (Controlled) Primary School

The normal area of Chellaston Fields Spencer Academy was previously within the normal area of Sale and Davys C.E. Controlled Primary School.

We consulted to create a discrete normal area for Chellaston Fields from September 2020, removing it from that of Sale and Davys. It is now necessary to temporarily designate the normal area of Chellaston Fields as a shared normal area with Sale and Davys. This is to ensure that, due to the gradual opening of year groups at Chellaston Fields, children of all primary ages can be designated a normal area school. This shared arrangement will need to stay in place until September 2025.

A PDF of the normal area map can be provided by requesting a copy by email to admissions.transport@derbyshire.go.uk  showing how the development relates to the normal area of Sale and Davys CE (Controlled) Primary School.

Coordinated admission arrangements
