Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDECS5).
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 2020. 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.
The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the preferred provider to be submitted to the Secretary of State for Education for final agreement.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member approved the preferred sponsor.
