Explanatory notes

Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, information about representations to the published proposal may be accessed by members of the public.

The proposal arises because of concerns about financial and educational viability of the nursery. The nursery has low and reducing pupil numbers which is impacting on the financial viability of the school.

The Authority will need to decide whether to implement the proposal before 1 October 2025, otherwise it must be referred to the Adjudicator for a final decision.
