Proposed admission arrangements for Earlswood Infant School for September 2026

Overview

Surrey County Council is consulting on proposed changes to admission arrangements for Earlswood Infant School for September 2026. 

For September 2026, the local authority is proposing to reduce the published admission number (PAN) at Reception for Earlswood Infant School from 120 to 90.

The primary planning area for Earlswood and Salfords comprises of Earlswood Infant School, Earlswood Junior School, Salfords Primary School and St John’s Primary School.  

Place planning forecasts indicate that there will be a need for around 170 Reception places in the primary planning area of Earlswood and Salfords. If Earlswood Infant School reduces its PAN from 120 to 90, there will be a total of 180 Year Reception places in the planning area across all schools – Earlswood Infant (90), Salfords Primary (60) and St John’s Primary (30). There will therefore continue to be a sufficient number of Year Reception places across the whole planning area if Earlswood Infant reduces its PAN.

The forecasts predict that the number of pupils needing a school place in Year Reception in the planning area of Earlswood and Salfords will remain around 170 from 2026/27 to the end of the forecast period 2033/34. 

This decrease in PAN would have no impact on children who are currently on roll at the school. Surrey’s Education Place Planning team are supportive of this proposal, as are the Headteacher and Governing Body of the school.
