Approval to publish a public notice to lower the age range of Hunnyhill Primary School

The purpose of the report is to seek approval to publish a Public Notice to lower the age range of Hunnyhill Primary School.
This decision is regarded as a ‘key decision’ and ordinarily under regulation 9 of the Regulations at least 28 clear days’ notice is required to be given in advance on the Forward Plan. Where such notice is impracticable, a general exception notice may instead be given in accordance with regulation 10 of the Regulations.
The reason why it was impracticable to have complied with the standard advance notice requirement is because there is a need to undertake public consultation and the timeframes for any implementation mean that it was impracticable to give the standard notice and the matter cannot reasonably be deferred.

Reason for urgency:
This decision is regarded as a ‘key decision’ and ordinarily under regulation 9 of the Regulations at least 28 clear days’ notice is required to be given in advance on the Forward Plan. Where such notice is impracticable, a general exception notice may instead be given in accordance with regulation 10 of the Regulations.
The reason why it was impracticable to have complied with the standard advance notice requirement is because there is a need to undertake public consultation and the timeframes for any implementation mean that it was impracticable to give the standard notice and the matter cannot reasonably be deferred.
The background is that an existing provider of services is due to discontinue service provision in the next academic year and the school proposes to lower its school age range to 3 years old so that provision can be made.
