The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill
Received: 12 February 2025
The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill is due to give local authorities greater powers to prevent good/popular schools from expanding, on the grounds that such expansion would undermine bad/unpopular schools - which might cease to be viable and have to close. This would be via the mechanism of setting a "published admissions number" PAN for each school.Details of the proposals can be found here:https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10165/Please advise if your local authority has made any decision on whether you would be willing to contemplate using such powers in the event of this legislation being enacted and if so what that decision is.Please also provide a copy of any submission you have made to the Department of Education regarding this proposal and copies of any email correspondence within your Council regarding the matter.
