Dear Parents,

We are writing to inform you that we are proposing a reduction in the published admission number (PAN) for our school. We have been working with Birmingham City Council to plan for the future, specifically looking at the falling pupil numbers across the city due to a fall in birth rates.

It is proposed that the published admission number relating to the admission of children into Reception from September 2023 onwards be reduced to 60. The present published admission number is set at 90.

Our school is part of the Prince Albert Community Trust: a family of five primary schools and one secondary school, based here in Birmingham. Birchfield have been a part of PACT since 2017. During this time lots of changes have been made. 

Parent feedback on the journey so far and the impact of PACT involvement is extremely important to us. Ahead of our planned 'quality assurance' of improvements at Birchfield Primary School, we are inviting parents to share their reflections. In the coming weeks senior leaders from across the PACT will visit school to assess the progress, review improvement plans and action plan for the future.

Please complete the survey linked below to share your feedback.

Mrs Thewlis and the Birchfield Primary team.
