Its possibly worth a browse round this site to see if anyone gets a clearer view of what sort of things the Schools Adjudicator deals with.
PAN can be revised downward.

Its been part of debates in Parliament
Mark Lancaster: The hon. Member comes to the nub of the problem-how we square that circle between the rights of schools to set their own admissions and the
13 Dec 2010 : Column 790
rights of families to get their children into their local school. In Milton Keynes, the consequence is that new families moving in cannot get a place at their local school.
Network Rail's new headquarters is set to bring 2,000 new staff to the city. Yes, there will be school places for the children who move here, but will these be anywhere near their houses and how long will they have to wait to start? This situation also spells trouble as we see the creation of more academies. In Milton Keynes, two schools have applied for academy status, which I wholeheartedly support. I am delighted about it, but will they, as in the previous case, have reduced PANs and will we see yet more displacement within the city?
I get a sniff here that suggests there might be something in Academy status that means they can set their own PAN. If that is so then could Tomlinscote go Academy and do it? Is the merger in response to the fact Collingwood may be able to change its PAN? Flying a kite here but might be worth a browse.
