Cabinet considered a report following an approach to the authority by Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre, Kirkham in relation to the future of its post 16 provision. The school has asked the local authority to start the formal statutory process to consult 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 2019.

It was noted that, in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidance, the authority was now required to decide whether to publish a Statutory Notice on the proposal to consult on the future of this provision.

Resolved: That a Statutory Notice be published to begin the representation period on the future of the post 16 provision currently delivered by Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre, Kirkham.
