Consultation Notice – Reduction in Medina College PAN 

Thursday 19th November until Wednesday 13th January 2021. 

In accordance with the DfE’s 2014 statutory ‘Schools Admissions Code’ guidance the Governing Body for Carisbrooke and Medina College is consulting on the Admissions Arrangements of Medina College for September 2020 because changes are proposed. The amendments are:

• To reduce the Published Admission Number at Medina College from 210 to 180 places in Year 7 with effect from September 2022. This means that the number of places available for children in Year 7 in 2022 and all subsequent Year 7 cohorts will be 180.
• For children who already have a place at the school in other year groups there will be no proposed change. This is the only proposed change to the admission criteria, all other criteria, including oversubscription, will remain the same.

A full version of the proposed changes to the admission arrangements, as well as the rationale behind them, is below and hard copies are available from the school office.

Comments on the proposed admissions arrangements should be sent to the Clerk to Governors emma.shambrook@iwef.org.uk or by post to Emma Shambrook, Medina College, Fairlee Road, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 2DX by 12 noon on Wednesday, 13^th January 2021.
