Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Education provided details on the proposed amalgamation of Shotton Infants school and Taliesin Junior school to form a new through Primary school on the Taliesin Junior school site.

The decision of Cabinet on 22 January 2013 was that a statutory notice be published in accordance with the requirements of the Welsh Government.  That notice set out the intention of the Authority to close the existing infant and junior schools as of 31 August  2014 and to open the new school, in its new building on 1 September 2014. 

No objections, during the statutory one month period, were received.  As a result, the determination of the proposal could be made by Cabinet without reference to Welsh Ministers.

RESOLVED:

That the proposal to effect an amalgamation of the infant and junior schools to form a new through primary school on the Taliesin Avenue site from 1 September 2014 be approved.
