As an 'own Admission Authority' school, Fortismere's Governing Body determines the Published Admission Number (PAN). This is the number of students admitted to the school.

Earlier in 2016, the Governors made a stand-alone decision to increase the PAN for the incoming Year 7; from September 2016, Year 7 will have 270 places.

The Governors have now decided to admit above the PAN for Years 8 and 9 as well. From September 2016, there will be 270 places in each of those years. 

Places will be allocated from the waiting list for those years and will be offered at the end of the Summer Term.
