Expansion of Balfour Junior School

Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
1. That the proposal to expand Balfour Junior School by one form of entry be noted and endorsed.

3. That the results from the statutory consultation process be referred to Cabinet Member Meeting on 2 March 2009 for decision.
Reasons for the decision:
1. Brighton and Hove City Council has a legal requirement to provide sufficient school places for all school age children in the city. School places should be provided in such a way that parents and pupils can access a local school wherever possible. This proposal will provide additional places where they are wanted by parents and carers.
2. The views of the parents and carers, staff, governors and pupils of the school expressed during the consultation have been considered.
Alternative options considered:
1. The alternative option is to leave the schools as a three form entry school.
