What are the next steps?
For the next steps, a period of statutory consultation will be held in accordance with the School Standards and Organisation Act 2013 and the School Organisation Code 011/2018. This means that a consultation document will be published and there will be an opportunity for anyone to comment on the proposed proposal. This period will last approximately 6 weeks (at least 42 days must be given for people to respond to the document, 20 of which should be school days).
It is anticipated that the consultation will take place in the coming weeks.
Subsequently, a further report will be submitted to Cabinet to report back on the results of the consultation, and respond to the comments received. Cabinet will then be required to consider the results of the consultation, and decide whether or not to issue a Statutory Notice on the proposal consulted upon.
