    Allocation of secondary school places for September 2018 Abbreviations used: PAN - Published Admission Number SEN - Special Educational Needs EHCP - Education, Health and Care Plan The table below shows the published admission number (PAN) for entry to Year 7 in September 2018 at each secondary school in Hampshire, the total number of applications received (first, second and third preference) and the number of places offered on the national notification date (1 March 2018). The 'Allocated' column refers to children who were unsuccessful in gaining a place at any of their preferred schools and were offered a place at the school by the local authority because it was their catchment school or nearest school with a place available. Hampshire County Council is the admission authority for all community secondary schools and a breakdown of the number of places offered, by admission criteria, is also provided for these schools. For oversubscribed schools, the distance of the last child offered a place (measured in miles as a straight line) is shown. Information about the breakdown of places at other schools (Academies, Foundation, Aided and Trust schools), should be obtained from the school directly. Each school’s admission policy sets out how places are allocated when they are more applications than places available.
