Strategic School Improvement Programme- Proposal to establish a Secondary Education Nurture Centre at Cefn Saeson Comprehensive School

Minutes:

Members considered the report in relation to establishing a Secondary Education Nurture Centre at Cefn Saeson Comprehensive School.  Members then raised the following:-

 

·        Should a pupil be unable to return to mainstream school, where would that pupil continue his/her education?  Members were advised that admission to the Centre required pupils to remain on the roll at their base school because the principal focus of support at the Centre was directed towards a successful reintegration to mainstream school.  However for a small minority this may not be appropriate.  In such instances alternative in-county provision was available.

·        Clarification was sought on the list of consultees contained in the circulated report and were advised that these were the statutory consultees, which included Union representatives.

 

Following scrutiny, the Committee was supportive of the proposals to be considered by Cabinet.
