Issue - decisions

As Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, I agree to authorise the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Education to issue a Public Notice to permanently change the age range of Herne Bay Infant School from 3-7 years to 2-7 years from September 2017.

Should objections, not already considered by the Cabinet Member when taking this decision, be received during the public notice period, a separate decision will be required in order to continue with the proposal, to allow for proper consideration of the points raised.

In reaching this decision, I have taken into account:

• The analysis of the views put in writing in response to the consultation;
• The views of the Area Education Officer and the Headteacher and Governing Body of Herne Bay Infant School;
• The Equalities Impact Assessment and comments received regarding this; and
• the views of the Children, Young People and Education Cabinet Committee which are set out below
