Decision details

Ashton Community Science College (ACSC) has approached the County Council, as the local education authority, in relation to the future of its post 16 provision and, following discussions, has asked the County Council to start the formal statutory consultation process to consult on the future of that provision.  Under The School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013, the local education authority must be the proposer for this type of significant change and carry out a statutory consultation process.  In line with this, the authority is now required to decide whether to publish a Statutory Notice on the proposal to consult on the future of this provision.

County Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools approved the publication, by the authority, of a Statutory Notice to consult on the future of the post 16 provision currently delivered by Ashton Community Science College.
