Decision details

On 1 December 2016, the Governing Body of Lytham St Annes Technology and Performing Arts College (LSATPAC) began a statutory consultation on the proposal to discontinue 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 2018.  The consultation on this proposal took place from 1 December 2016 to 20 January 2017. 

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 compiled with.

The Committee considered a report presented to the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools on the proposal to discontinue post 16 sixth form provision, by permanently lowering the age range from 11-18 years to 11-16 years, with effect from 31 August 2018 of Lytham St Annes Technology and Performing Arts College (LSATPAC) following the conclusion of statutory consultation between 1 December 2016 and 20 January 2017.

Resolved: - That the recommendations set out in the report to the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools be noted and that no additional comments or suggested alternative recommendations be made.
