Statutory Consultation
Proposal to Relocate and Federate
Warninglid Primary School
With effect from 1 Sept 2021
Consultation Ends 16 March 2020
Principles for Consultation• To secure the highest quality educational provision for all children and young
people.
• Any school system should be centred on the needs of children as learners.
• Schools should be educationally and financially viable.
• Age 4-11 all-through primary schools should be established wherever practical.
• There should be sufficient places available in schools to support parental preference whilst avoiding an excess of surplus capacity.
• To enable the most sustainable structure for the leadership and organisation of education in the locality whilst recognising the on-going role of the Diocese.
Why are we proposing relocation and federation?
• Previous consultation 7th Oct – 25th Nov 2019
• Responses were summarised and then reviewed by the CYPS Select Committee and by the Cabinet of WSCC
