*Re-published: call-in no longer applies* Re: Springhead School – Satellite Specialist Sixth Form Provision

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Education, Learning & Skills

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To approve public consultation on a proposal to formally confirm the establishment of satellite specialist sixth form provision for Springhead School on the former Graham Lower School site in Scarborough

Reasons for the decision:

*PLEASE NOTE This decision was originally published on or near the date of the decision and so call in no longer applies. It has been re-published as part of the change in committee management system that we use.*

In 2017, in response to a specific pressure on places at Springhead School, the Local Authority supported the school through an informal consultation on moving their Sixth Form provision onto a site at Lady Edith’s Drive in Scarborough. This had formerly been the Graham Lower School Site and was vacant at that point.

This proposal was subsequently agreed and implemented by the Governing Body of Springhead School. This decision was temporary and it was noted that the decision would be reviewed within three years and if the proposal was to be continued then a formal statutory process would need to be followed.

Under the arrangements agreed by The Executive on 25 September 2007, decisions to approve public consultation on school organisation proposals for which the decision maker is the Local Authority, will normally be taken by the Executive Members for Schools.
