The Cabinet noted the responses to the informal consultation together with the advice and analysis from officers and agreed to instruct the Director of Children and Adults Services to commence the period of statutory representation for the proposed changes to St Mary’s Island Church of England Primary School, as set out in paragraph 10.1 of the report, when statutory notices and full proposals will be published. |

36/2017 |
The Cabinet agreed to delegate authority to the Director of Children and Adults Services, in consultation with Portfolio Holders for Children’s Services (Lead Member) and Educational Attainment and Improvement, to determine whether to approve the proposals at the end of the statutory consultation period if no objections are received. However, if any objections are received during that time then a report will be prepared and presented to Cabinet for determination. |
Reasons:
Proceeding to a period of statutory representation will ensure the Council complies with its duty to follow the full consultation process when proposing changes to school organisation.
