Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDE4).
The statutory notice for the proposed change of age range at Stanton Harcourt school by reducing the age range from 4-11 to 3-11 by the addition of a nursery class/ Foundation Stage Unit was issued on 28 September 2012. The statutory period expired on 9th November and no objections were received.
The Cabinet Member for Education is asked to consider the proposal as the 'decision-maker' under the Education & Inspections Act 2006. This requires consideration of the proposal against the factors that must be considered as laid down in statutory guidance. The responses received as part of the informal consultation which were reported to the meeting where the publication of statutory notices was agreed (10 September 2012) are available. The report requires the cabinet member to reject the proposal or approve it, or approve it with a modification or subject to meeting a specific condition.
The Cabinet Member for Education is RECOMMENDED to either:
(a) reject the proposals;
(b) approve the proposals;
(c) approve the proposals with a modification (e.g. the proposal implementation date); or
(d) approve the proposals subject to them meeting a specific condition.
Decision:
Agreed.
