The document is titled 'Admissions Policy – 2027-28' but the printed Published Admissions Number (15) is explicitly stated as applying to 'the Reception Year in September 2025', not September 2027. This is a discrepancy in the source document; the PAN figure has been reported as printed, but its stated year does not match the cohort year indicated by the document title.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
