Issue - meetings

This report asks that Cabinet approves that Dunchurch Infant School, a Foundation school, be closed and simultaneously replaced by a new Voluntary Aided school (with no change to pupils, staff or buildings).

Cabinet Portfolio Holder – Councillor Colin Hayfield

Councillor Colin Hayfield explained that the matter before Cabinet was a simple change of status of the infant school at Dunchurch to bring it into line with the junior school. Although responses to the consultation that was undertaken were limited it was the collective view of the governors that the change of status should be made.

Resolved:

That Cabinet approves that Dunchurch Infant School, a Foundation school, be closed and simultaneously replaced by a new Voluntary Aided school (with no change to pupils, staff or buildings).
