Decision details

At a meeting of the governing body on 4 July 2018, the governing body of Bleasdale Church of England Primary School resolved to ask the Local Authority to consult on the future of the school and this decision was supported by the Blackburn Church of England Diocese.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval to undertake a formal consultation on the future of Bleasdale Church of England Primary School. The report proposes stage 1 consultation on the possible closure of Bleasdale Church of England Primary School, due to a fall in the numbers on roll at the school making the school educationally and financially unviable. The report identifies the reasons for the proposal, and sets out the process to be followed in undertaking potential closure of a maintained school.

Cabinet approved the recommendations as set out in the report.
