Decision details

This provides a report back to the Cabinet from the Education and Lifelong Learning Overview and Scrutiny Committee (16 November 2005) following a call in by the Labour group in relation to a review of primary school places in Walderslade.

256/2005 The Cabinet reaffirmed its decisions from 18 October 2005 that there should be a review of primary school places in the Walderslade area and for public consultation on the proposed options to be carried out as set out as scenarios 1 and 2 in appendix 2 of the report.

This decision enables consultation to be undertaken with stakeholders. The excessive level of surplus places in the Walderslade area makes this the right time to carry out a review and prevent the community of schools in Walderslade experiencing the adverse affects of falling rolls.
