Approval was given to commence a formal procurement process intended to secure the future of Wennington Hall School in January 2020. The implementation of this decision was delayed due to the national pandemic and the invitation to tender published on 26 October 2020. The process for receipt of tenders closed on 4 December 2020.
The statutory process, set out in the School Organisation (Establishment and Discontinuance of Schools) Regulations 2013, must be undertaken before making a decision on the discontinuance of Wennington Hall School. Permission to pursue discontinuance has been given by the Department for Education on the condition that a suitable independent provider is identified.
