re-organisation proposals in Primary Planning Area 4.

Content

Cabinet RESOLVED
 

(1)    To note
that initial informal consultation will be undertaken with
stakeholders that could lead to subsequent statutory consultation
on a proposal to implement a phased
closure of the Gwenneth Rickus site of Leopold
Primary School. If a phased closure were to proceed, Leopold
Primary School would continue to operate from its main site on
Hawkshead Road. Ceasing provision on the Gwenneth Rickus site would
involve a variation of the PAN for Leopold Primary School from 120
to 60 places for admissions in 2025 and no further admissions to
the Leopold Gwenneth Rickus site from September 2025. There would
be a phased closure of the Gwenneth
Rickus site. The timing of the full
closure of the site would be determined during
consultation.
 

(2)    To note
that a reduction in the PAN of Mitchell Brook Primary School from
90 to 60 from September 2025, would be recommended for formal
consultation in a report at the November Cabinet meeting on the
Admission Arrangements for 2025/26.
