Issue - meetings

The Governing Body of Clandon CofE Infant School (Voluntary Aided), in partnership with Surrey County Council (SCC) and the Diocese of Guildford, have consulted on a proposal to extend the age range of the school from 4-7 (infant) to 4 to 11 years old (primary) from September 2017, and to reduce the published admissions number (PAN) from 25 to 15 from September 2017.

Following a public consultation, the Governing Body of the school voted unanimously on 17 November 2015 to proceed with the proposal. 

As this is a prescribed alternation to the school, the final decision on whether to proceed with the extension of the age range rests with the Local Authority. Therefore, the Cabinet Member is asked to review the education rationale for the project and the summary of the consultation responses provided within this report, to determine whether to proceed with implementing the proposal.

That Clandon C of E Infant School becomes a primary school from September 2016 and reduces its Published Admissions Number (PAN) from 25 to 15 in September 2017 and that two modular classrooms are provided to facilitate this change.
