On 7 December 2017, the governing body of Baines School 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 2019. The consultation on this proposal took place from 7 December 2017 to 19 January 2018.
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 complied with.
