Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services which sought approval to enlarge Elemore Hall School from 1 September 2021 and to close Windlestone School as a registered school on 31 August 2021.

The proposal took account of the Local Authority’s duties as prescribed in the Education and Inspections Act 2006, to secure sufficient places and to ensure good outcomes for all children and young people in the local area (for copy see file of minutes).

Councill Gunn highlighted the continued use of both sites in order that students currently attending each site will continue to be educated on a site which is familiar to them.  Seconding the report, Councillor Hovvels stated the proposal will ensure pupils’ education is not disrupted. 

Resolved:

That the recommendation in the report be approved.
