As detailed in the recommendations.

The Cabinet Member for Education provided details on the proposed amalgamation of Hawarden Infants and Rector Drew Church in Wales Voluntary Aided Junior Schools to form a new through Primary school on the same site.

The decision of Cabinet on 19 February 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 2013 and to open the new school, in the existing buildings on 1 September 2013.

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 existing Infant and Junior schools to form a new through Church in Wales Voluntary Aided Primary school on the existing site and utilising the existing buildings from September 2013 be approved.
