The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Children and Public Health) concerning a potential amalgamation of Chalkwell Hall Infant School and Chalkwell Hall Junior School.

Resolved:-

That a formal consultation on the potential amalgamation of Chalkwell Hall Infants School and Chalkwell Hall Junior School, be approved.

Reason for decision:

It is the Council’s policy that consideration be given to the potential amalgamation of the Infant and Junior Schools on the same site when an appropriate opportunity arises.

Other options:

1.    The two schools could remain separate entities with their own separate DfE numbers and separate governing bodies as currently constituted.

2.    The schools could consider academy status.
