RESOLVED: That the Committee –
i. Noted the details of the consultation undertaken by West Blatchington Primary and Nursery School and agreed with the response of the Executive Director of Families, Children and Learning outlined in Appendix 1 that it had not offered the opportunity for ‘full engagement’.
ii. Noted opposition to these plans from unions representing staff at the school - Unison, GMB and NEU.
iii. Further noted that there were options West Blatchington Primary and Nursery School should consider, including federation and reviewing the school’s partnership arrangements.
iv. Agreed that academisation was not the best option for West Blatchington
Primary and Nursery School and urged the school to halt any plans in that direction.
v. Further agreed to have another report to a future meeting of the Children, Young People & Skills Committee outlining the Council’s feedback on the published consultation report and any progress towards academisation.
