PROPOSAL TO CLOSE GREEN OAK CofE PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY
Green Oak CofE Primary School and Nursery received an inadequate Ofsted judgement in January 2017. As set out in the Education and Adoption Act 2016, the school subsequently received a Directive Academy Order from the Department for Education’s Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC). The effect of the Order is that the school must be placed within a multi-academy trust (MAT) to secure its future. No appropriate MAT had been identified by the RSC and the Diocese of Guildford to take the school forward. In line with the statutory guidance ‘Schools Causing Concern’ February 2018, it was necessary for the Council to undertake consultation on the future provision of the school.
The Cabinet Member is asked to review the summary of the evidence in the report, the consultation summary and the consultation responses; and determine whether to proceed with the publication of statutory notices.
Decision: RESOLVED:
It was agreed that:
1. Statutory notices to close are not published.
2. The proposal to close the school is halted whilst further options that have arisen during the informal consultation process are fully explored.
