PDF 37 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Governing Body of St. Mary’s C of E Primary school (Writhlington) has published a proposal to alter the lower age limit of the school from age 4 to age 3 by the addition of Early Years provision that would be run by the school and a decision is required to determine the proposal.
Decision:
(1) To AGREE that the lower age limit of St. Mary’s C of E Primary school be altered from age 4 to age 3 by the addition of Early Years provision to commence on 1 September 2011.
Alternative options considered:
The school and the Early Years team did consider whether a replacement voluntary management committee could be identified to continue to run the provision but there has been no interest from the local community. Also the inclusion of the pre-school as part of the school is expected to improve educational outcomes for children and allow one whole phase of transition – from pre-school into school - to be eliminated.
