4 THE REPORT
4.1 Each year the LEA is required to publish a draft School Organisation Plan. Statutory notices must be published and there is a two month period for objections. Following this the LEA is asked to agree that the draft Plan is submitted to the School Organisation Committee (SOC).
4.2 It is the responsibility of the SOC to approve the Plan.
4.3 The attached draft Plan is the third annual review following approval of the original Plan on January 6 2000.
4.4 The School Organisation Plan is a contextual document which must draw conclusions about the need to add or remove school places within Bath & North East Somerset. The Plan does not propose changes at named schools. The Plan simply provides the basis against which the School Organisation Committee can consider subsequent proposals for changes to specific schools.
4.5 The period for objections expired on July 3 2002.
4.6 No objections have been received. Therefore, apart from minor amendments to improve clarity and layout, no changes have been made to the substance of the Plan.
5 CONSULTATION
5.1 The draft Plan is widely circulated for comment as well as formal objections. The full list of consultees can be found in Section 2 of the draft Plan.
