Decision details

To report on the outcome of the consultation agreed by Cabinet on 15 March 2005.

150/2005 The Cabinet approved the option of creating a new community 2 form-entry all through primary school and nursery unit on the existing school sites, and authorised statutory notices to be published.

The amalgamation option was strongly supported overall (61%), particularly by the parents and governors of both schools. Amalgamation would provide educational, organisational and developmental benefits for pupils, parents and staff of the schools. Amalgamation would also enable the constraints and restrictions of the site and buildings to be overcome, with a new extended school for the 21st century built for the community of this more deprived area of Medway.
