The Education and Inspections Act 2006 has abolished the
below Committee. A Statutory Instrument (No.935) brought the
abolishment into force from May 2007
The School
Organisation Committee
The School Organisation Committee was not a
committee of the Local Education Authority. It was a separate statutory body, which brings
together the key partners in the provision of education, at local
level, giving each an equal voice.
The Committee made decisions in place of the
Secretary of State on school organisation proposals (including
proposals relating to voluntary and foundation schools) including
school closures, significant enlargements or other changes in
character and will approve the School Organisation Plan.
