Having complied with Rule 15 of the Council’s Access to Information Procedure Rules:
(i) To note the outcome of pre-statutory and statutory consultation, as shown in appendix 1.
(ii) To approve the proposals, put forward by the Governing Body of Weston Park Infant School, to change the age range of Weston Park Infant School from 4-7 year olds to 4-11 year olds and expand Weston Park Infant school from a 270 place infant school to a 750 place all through primary school. These proposals are linked to recommendation (iii).
(iii) To approve the proposal, put forward by the Governing Body of Weston Park Junior School, for the discontinuance of Weston Park Junior school from 1 January 2013. This proposal is linked to recommendation (ii).
(iv) To note the change to the admissions arrangements for the school, which will see the PAN for year R remain at 90, whilst the PAN for year 3 will be 120, to accommodate children from Weston Shore Infant. The net capacity of the new primary would thus be larger than the current combined net capacity of the existing infant and junior schools.
(v) To delegate authority to the Director of Children’s Services and Learning, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services to do anything necessary to give effect to the recommendations in this report.
