WYEBRIDGE SPORTS COLLEGE DETERMINATION OF STATUTORY NOTICES

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To determine the public notices to close Wyebridge Sports College in order to enable the opening of the new Wyebridge Academy.

 

Decision:

That the closure of Wyebridge Sports College on 31 August 2008 be approved.

 

Reasons for the decision:

To make progress with the academy project the Local Authority must first approve the closure of Wyebridge Sports College, which occupies the site of the proposed Academy.

 

Alternative options considered:

The Local Authority could determine that Wyebridge Sports College remains open, thereby withdrawing its support for the academy proposal as a whole. This would jeopardise the very real achievement that Wyebridge Sports College has made in recent years and leave the future of high school provision in the South Wye area uncertain.
