1.	Introduction
1.1	The County Council, as Admissions Authority, is responsible for setting annual Planned Admission Numbers (PAN) for community and Voluntary Controlled schools – where a change is proposed this must be done in consultation with governing bodies and other stakeholders including parents.
1.2	Voluntary Aided Schools, Foundation schools and Academies are their own Admission Authorities and are responsible for setting their own PANs. Where a change is proposed this must be done in consultation with the County Council and other stakeholders including parents (this can be via schools’ websites).
1.3	We are contacting schools electronically via the Norfolk Schools website for the proposed Planned Admission Numbers for the 2014/15 academic year.
2.	Feedback is required by 15 March 2013
2.1	Please use the feedback form on the Norfolk Schools website to let us have your agreement or disagreement to the PAN and any comments on the proposal by 15 March 2013.
