This report will present recommendations to
make a prescribed alteration to a number of infant and primary
schools, so to enable the admission of children aged three
years.
The Cabinet agreed to authorise the Director
of Education and Leisure to initiate public consultation on the
variation of the age range of Napier Community Primary School to
allow the admission of children aged 3 years.
The Cabinet agreed that following consultation a report be
submitted back to Cabinet.
The Council's policy is to support the
establishment of additional Foundation Stage education places at
schools, where it can be shown that the quality of provision will
be good, and where doing so is consistent with the Council's
statutory duties.The establishment of a Foundation Stage unit at
Napier Community Primary school would be consistent with the
Council's duty to secure an education place for all three and four
year olds whose parents want one. The initiation of the public
consultation process will allow views on the merits of the proposal
to be sought and considered in detail.
