The Cabinet meeting of 4 September 2012 approved a process for the identification of sponsors for new academies to meet the needs of population growth such as this which requires a new secondary school for 2019.It was subsequently agreed in the meeting of 15th July 2014 that the final recommendation should be a decision delegated to the cabinet member responsible for Education.
This process has been followed and has now reached the point where a preferred provider has been identified from a group of 4 short-listed bidders which were assessed against criteria.
The cabinet member is asked to agree the recommended provider which will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Education for a final decision.
However the Department for Education has directed that the recommendation must not be made public, therefore this has to be kept confidential.
