To consider the outcome of consultation on
proposals relating to the above schools.
The Cabinet approved the option of closing
Fair View Infant and Fair View Junior schools from 31 August 2005
and opening a new community three form of entry all through primary
school and nursery unit on the existing school sites on 1 September
2005. The Cabinet also authorised the publication of statutory
notices.
The amalgamation option was strongly supported
by parents of both schools and the head teachers and governing
bodies of both schools. This was based upon the educational,
management and continuity benefits it would provide. The proposal
was also supported because it presented a unique opportunity to
create an extended school for the future for the local
community.
