Decision Maker: Children & Young People Cabinet Member Meeting

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To set out the background and rationale for the proposal and to seek Cabinet Member endorsement to proceed to the next stage of the statutory process – the publication of Statutory Notices.

Decision:

1. That the proposal to expand Davigdor Infant School by one form of entry be noted and endorsed.

2. That the publication of the required Statutory Notices to progress this proposal be agreed.

3. That the results from the statutory consultation process be referred to Cabinet Member Meeting in June/July 2009 for decision.

Reasons for the decision:

1. Brighton and Hove City Council has a legal requirement to provide sufficient school places for all school age children in the city. School places should be provided in such a way that parents and pupils can access a local school wherever possible. This proposal will provide additional places where they are wanted by parents and carers.

2. The views of the parents and carers, staff, governors and pupils of the school expressed during the consultation have been considered.

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option is to leave the school as a three form entry school.
