Admissions
When the school first opened in September 2013, the governing body agreed to a one form entry of 30 pupils in its first two years and a two form entry thereafter. CPS has a published admission number (PAN) of 60 at the normal point of entry and this number is carried forward as the cohort moves through the school. The school is at its planned capacity as part of the funding agreement with the DfE, based on a bottom up growth strategy.
