Under the arrangements agreed by Executive on 25 September 2007,
school organisation decisions, for which the decision maker is the
Local Authority, will normally be taken by the County
Council’s Executive or, if there are no objections to the
Statutory Notice, the decision is delegated to the Executive
Members for Schools.
The Governing Body of Rathmell CE VA Primary School agreed on 7
February 2017 to request a consultation on a proposal to close the
school. The consultation period ran from 17 February to 24 March
2017 and the Governors met on 3 April to consider the outcomes of
the public consultation. They agreed to publish statutory notices
to close the school from 31 August 2017 and these were published on
11 May 2017. No responses were received following the publication
of the Statutory Notices.
