12/12/2022 - Proposal to lower school age range at Wivelsfield Community Primary School

22.1   The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Children’s Services regarding school age range change.

 

DECISION

 

22.2   The Lead Member RESOLVED to authorise the change of age range at Wivelsfield Primary School from 4-11 to 2-11 with effect from 1 September 2023.

 

REASON

 

22.3   The local authority and governing board of Wivelsfield Primary School have identified a gap in nursery provision in Wivelsfield since the closure of the former voluntary run pre-school in July 2020. The governing board wishes to lower the school’s age range from 4-11 to 2-11 to support families in the local area and offer high quality early education delivered by experienced and well-trained staff across the Early Years Foundation Stage.
