Eastfield Primary School Admissions Policy
EAS Primary Admissions Policy 2026
Operational Capacity
Trustees on 3rd October 2025 agreed to set an operational capacity at Eastfield of:
- Yr 5 – 34 pupils
An operational capacity has been set for the academic year 2025/2026 in Yr 5 at Eastfield Primary. This operational capacity will remain in place for the academic year 2026/2027 for this year group in Yr6 unless pupil numbers in this class significantly change.
This capacity limit is due to environmental factors, in particular a large class above 34 pupils where there are limitations on the class space and furniture that is appropriate for them. The operational limit of 34 will ensure suitable provision is made for children to be able to make progress from their starting points and because accepting pupils above the operational limit of 34 will prejudice the effective education of pupils.
