Petitions
Notice of Petition
Received from Gemma Davies, 119 signatures
As current parents of year 2 children, in schools that are converting next year to Primary's, we are very concerned about the one form entry intake at Danetree. When we applied for our original school places, the schools were infants and our intentions were always to move our children to Danetree. We understand that SCC have authorised a one form, 30 pupil entry into Danetree in 2017 and that siblings will be considered for these places first. As there are more siblings than places on offer this is a major concern and gives parents extremely limited choice in terms of their child's ongoing education. It also puts parents with children of Year 3 entry age and Reception age in an impossible position if they wish both children to be in Danetree as places are so limited for year 3. The pressure on the converting schools is high and distributing this pressure out by offering more year 3 places at Danetree would seem sensible. Parents want the security of knowing there is a 2 form intake if demand for those places is there.
A response will be tabled at the meeting.
Decision: That the response, attached as Appendix 1, is approved. |

PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF DOWNS WAY SCHOOL AND ST. MARY'S C OF E JUNIOR SCHOOL
Surrey County Council (SCC), in partnership with the Governing Body of St. Mary’s Church of England (C of E) Junior School and the Diocese of Southwark, has undertaken informal consultation on a proposal to amalgamate Downs Way School and St. Mary’s C of E Junior School, with a view to creating a new all-through primary school from September 2018. It is also proposed to expand Key Stage 2 provision at the school from this date. The consultation was conducted between 1 November 2016 and 13 December 2016.
The Cabinet Member is asked to review the education rationale for the project and summary of the consultation process/feedback provided within this report and associated Annexes and, on that basis, decide whether to proceed with publishing the associated Statutory Notice, which represents the next stage of the process for the implementation of this proposal.
Additional documents: Decision: It was agreed thatthe Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Educational Achievement approves the publication of a statutory notice to close Downs Way School, as an integral element of the proposed amalgamation of this school with St. Mary’s C of E Junior School, inclusive of the expansion of Key Stage 2 provision, effective from 1 September 2018.
