This report informs Cabinet of the formal
objections relating to the Statutory Notice proposing to close
Ridge Meadow Primary School from 31 August 2010 and asks Cabinet to
determine the Notice.
Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Children and
Adults
206/2009 The Cabinet agreed, in accordance
with section 15(1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 that
Medway Council, Gun Wharf, Dock Road, Chatham, Kent, ME4 4TR,
intends to discontinue Ridge Meadow Primary School, Churchill
Avenue, Chatham, ME5 0LA on 31 August 2010.
In summary, the main reasons are: the high
level of surplus places at the school and the risk therefore to
future viability; the need to ensure effective use of resources and
in turn raise standards across schools; and the need to secure
value for money in public services. PLEASE SEE RECORD OF DECISIONS
