Forthcoming Decisions
02/04/2020 - The Proposal to Close Hendon Brook Short Stay School
On 16 January 2020, Cabinet agreed to the publication of a public notice to begin a representation period on the proposal to close Hendon Brook Short Stay School, Nelson, which would take effect from 31 August 2020. The formal consultation (or representation) period took place from 31 January to 28 February 2020.
As part of the process, a decision should now be taken about the proposal by Lancashire County Council. This decision should be taken within two months of the representation period ending.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C21 have been complied with.
This decision is urgent and cannot await the next meeting of Cabinet. The reason for this is that all formal meetings of the council, including Cabinet, have been cancelled for the foreseeable future and this decision has been deemed to be business critical by the relevant Executive Director. This decision is therefore being taken on behalf of Cabinet by the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order C16(1).

02/04/2020 - Proposed Closure of Thomas Whitham Sixth Form
On 16 January 2020, Cabinet agreed to a statutory notice being published to begin a representation period on the proposed closure of Thomas Whitham Sixth Form. A statutory proposal document was published in relation to the proposed closure of the school, with effect from 31 August 2020. The representation period took place from 29 January to 3 March 2020.
As part of the statutory process, a decision must now be taken about the proposal and this will be done by Lancashire County Council, as the decision maker. If the authority does not make a decision within two months from the end of the representation 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 C21 have been complied with.
This decision is urgent and cannot await the next meeting of Cabinet. The reason for this is that all formal meetings of the council, including Cabinet, have been cancelled for the foreseeable future and this decision has been deemed to be business critical by the relevant Executive Director. This decision is therefore being taken on behalf of Cabinet by the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order C16(1).

02/04/2020 - Temporary Increase in Pupil Places at Ashton Community Science College
Lancashire County Council has a statutory duty to ensure that a primary or secondary school place is available for every child of statutory school age living in Lancashire who requests one. As a result of high intake rates and additional housing impact, an area of Lancashire has been identified as requiring additional secondary places for 2020 and beyond.
This report outlines the current and projected position in the Preston area. This report also outlines action taken to secure temporary places in Preston for September 2020 and 2021 and recommends that additional places be made available in Year 7 at Ashton Community Science College for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years through a temporary expansion of pupil numbers, enabled by building works.
This decision is urgent and cannot await the next meeting of Cabinet. The reason for this is that all formal meetings of the council, including Cabinet, have been cancelled for the foreseeable future and this decision has been deemed to be business critical by the relevant Executive Director. This decision is therefore being taken on behalf of Cabinet by the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order C16(1).

Between 3 February and 16 March 2020, the county council consulted on a proposal to discontinue the local authority's maintenance of Wennington Hall School, Lancaster.
