Operational Capacity 2026/2027
An operational capacity has been agreed by trustees on 4th June 2026 as follows.
Current Year 2 (to be set at 46) and Year 3 children (to be set at 47) (Year 3 and Year 4 cohort in academic year of 2026-2027). Due to reduced NOR and the impact on the budget, a structure of three mixed Year 3 and 4 classes will be adopted in the new academic year. The classes will have more than 30 children per class based on existing numbers and will be situated in classrooms not suitable to accommodate beyond 30 children. Both cohorts also have a number of children with additional needs which require additional support and space which would not be possible with overcrowded rooms. This will prevent the curriculum or provision offered to existing children being negatively impacted due to growing class numbers.
School Admission Appeals
Bradgate Education Partnership schools use Leicestershire County Council’s appeals service to conduct their appeals. The council’s procedure and timetable for appeals can be found here:
