On 2 December 2021, Cabinet agreed to a statutory notice being published to begin a representation period on the proposed closure of Wennington Hall School. A statutory proposal document was published in relation to the proposed closure of the school, with implementation commencing on 31 August 2022. The representation period took place from 10 December 2021 to 7 February 2022.
As part of the statutory process, a decision should now be taken about the proposal and this will be done by Lancashire County Council, which is 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 C19 have been complied with.
