The local authority (City of Wolverhampton Council) is the admitting authority which can offer a place at Dovecotes Primary school. The Headteacher and staff are always happy to show families around our school but the official offer of a place remains with the Council.

 

All schools have a pupil admission number (PAN) which sets a limit to how many children the school is obliged to admit into its classes each year. Currently at Dovecotes Primary school our PAN is 45 for Reception Class through to Year 6. The PAN is calculated by the local authority using a formula which takes into account the floor area and number of classrooms.

 

Children are admitted to nursery from the list of applicants, in age order the beginning of the term after their third birthday and as places are available. Our morning nursery class accepts 26 children.
