Minutes:

41.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Children’s Services which sought approval to amalgamate Whitehill Infant School and Herne Junior School to create an all-through primary school with effect from 1 September 2015.

 

DECISIONS

 

41.2     RESOLVED to approve the closure of Herne Junior School on 31 August 2015 and to change the upper age limit at Whitehill Infant School from 4-7 to 4-11 with effect from 1 September 2015 in order to establish an all through primary school.

 

Reasons

 

41.3     The Council and the governing body believe that a change to the current organisation of Whitehill Infant School and Herne Junior School would build on the progress made since federation in September 2009 and lead to a sustained improvement in educational standards at Key Stage 2. The feedback received from the consultation period indicated that the majority of respondents support the view.
