Minutes:

Councillor Howson had given notice of the following question to Councillor Lindsay-Gale:

 

‘Could the cabinet member comment on what will happen to the pupils at the Bicester Technology Studio School if the school does not re-open in September?’

 

Councillor Lindsay-Gale replied:

 

“Activate Learning Education Trust who run the school have confirmed that this school will be open in September.  Like any other school if we are notified that a school is not planning to re-open we would support the pupils to find alternative places as swiftly as possible. “  

 

Supplementary: Asked that should the situation change that everything be done to ensure examination pupils are able to take their exams Councillor Lindsay-Gale stressed that they had had confirmation that the school would be open. She added that should any such situation occur at any school then the Council would support pupils to ensure that their education did not suffer.
