Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

Brighton & Hove City Council proposed no changes to school admission arrangements, secondary catchment areas, coordinated admission schemes or the relevant consultation area for 2023-24. It also recommended no reductions to the Published Admission Numbers at seven primary schools after considering consultation responses, pupil forecasts and the potential impact on local families and school finances.

Recommendation

Approve no changes to the council’s school admission arrangements or secondary school catchment areas; make no changes to the Published Admission Numbers for Bevendean Primary School and Nursery, Carden Nursery & Primary School, Coldean Primary School, Queen’s Park Primary School, Rudyard Kipling Primary School & Nursery, Saltdean Primary School and Woodingdean Primary School; and make no changes to the coordinated admission schemes or the relevant area.

Financial impact

No specific budget amount stated; falling pupil numbers are expected to reduce some schools’ annual budgets and may create financial pressures.
