Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek Lead Member approval to publish the East Sussex School Organisation Plan, covering the period 2022 to 2026.

The purpose of the School Organisation Plan is to understand the projected demand for school places in the future and to set out where we think we will need to commission additional places or re-organise existing provision to meet demand.

Decisions:

11.1    The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Children’s Services regarding the School Organisation Plan 2022-2026.

 

DECISIONS

 

11.2    The Lead Member RESOLVED to approve the publication of the School Organisation Plan 2022-2026.

 

Reason

 

11.3    The local authority has a statutory duty to ensure there are sufficient school places to meet demand across East Sussex. The draft School Organisation Plan for the period 2022-2026 sets out the projected demand for primary, secondary and SEN places and where we think we will need to commission additional places or reorganise existing provision to maintain a sustainable network of schools with the right number of places in the right locations to serve local need.
