Decision details

It was agreed that the Leader of the Council determined the three statutory

notices, pertaining to the proposals to:

1. Close Downs Way School, effective from 31 August 2018.

2. Alter the lower age limit of St. Mary’s C of E Junior School, in order that the age

range broadens from 7-11 to 4-11, effective from 1 September 2018.

3. Enlarge the formal capacity of this Primary School from 360 places (i.e. the

current capacity of St. Mary’s C of E Junior School) to 660 places, effective from

1 September 2018.

The combined effect of these proposals would be to bring into effect the

amalgamation of Downs Way School with St. Mary’s C of E Junior School, inclusive

of the expansion of Key Stage 2 provision, effective from 1 September 2018.
