Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
On 7 December 2017, Cabinet agreed to a statutory notice being published to begin a representation period on the future of the post 16 provision currently delivered by Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre. A statutory proposal document was published in relation to the school discontinuing its post 16 sixth form provision by permanently lowering its age range from 11-18 years to 11-16 years, with effect from 31 August 2019. The representation period took place from 18 December 2017 to 2 February 2018.
As part of the statutory process, a decision should now be taken about the proposal and this will be done by Lancashire County Council, who is the decision maker. If the Authority does not make a decision within two months from the end of the consultation period, the proposal and any representations about the proposal must be passed to the schools adjudicator for a decision.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. 25 have been complied with.
The Cabinet approved the recommendations as set out in the report.
