Decision details

This report will set out the outcome of consultation regarding the amalgamation proposals.

Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Children and Adults

219/2009 The Cabinet authorised the Director of Children and Adults to publish formal proposals including statutory notices relating to the closure of Delce Infant School and Delce Junior School from 31 August 2012 and to create a new all through Primary School, from 1 September 2012 and noted the requirement for the Council to pass the proposal to the Schools Adjudicator for decision at the end of the representation period.

This decision would reduce the number of transition points for those children following their education on the same site. The two schools have been working closely for a number of years and already share the same site and a larger senior management team will create a more robust school.
