Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDECS4).

This report follows the publication of a Statutory Notice relating to the county council's proposal to expand Radley Church of England Primary School.

As set out under Rule 19(a) of the Scrutiny Procedure Rules, this decision is exempt from Call-In as it is deemed urgent and any delay would seriously prejudice the Council’s interests, in that any delay could mean the decision would be taken away from Oxfordshire County Council.

The Cabinet Member for Education and Cultural Services is RECOMMENDED to permanently expand Radley Church of England Primary School to 1 form of entry, increasing its admission number from 15 to 30 and its capacity from 105 to 210 places.
