Adjudicator publishes decision on proposals to discontinue Brockeridge infant and Highcroft Junior Schools. Frampton Cotterell, South Gloucestershire and establish a 4 to 11 Community Primary School
The Office of the
Schools Adjudicator has published a decision on statutory
proposals by South Gloucestershire Council to close Brockeridge
Infant and Highcroft Junior Schools and establish a new 4 to 11
community primary school from 1 September 2010
The adjudicator, Janet Mokades, approved the proposals. Ms
Mokades concluded that both schools will benefit educationally
from the wider professional horizons and the more targeted use of
resources that an amalgamation will bring.
Notes to Editors
Schools adjudicators are independent of the Government. They decide on school organisation issues, disputes on land transfer and assets and admission arrangements which cannot be resolved locally. They were appointed under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. Their role is to look afresh at all cases referred to them, considering each case on its merits and taking account of the reasons for disagreement at local level in the light of the legislation and the guidance in the School Admissions Code.
Copies of the determination reached by the adjudicator can be obtained from the Office of the Schools Adjudicator. It can also be found on the Schools Adjudicator Website - www.schoolsadjudicator.gov.uk. Individual adjudicators are not in a position to comment on their decisions but, if clarification of those decisions is needed, enquiries can be addressed to: The Office of the Schools Adjudicator, Mowden Hall, Staindrop Road, Darlington DL3 9BG
