Agenda item

Decision:

That having had due regard to the responses to consultation, and the integrated impact and risk assessments, in line with Section 48 of the School Standards and Organisation (Wales) Act 2013, Members approve the statutory publication of a proposal to close the specialist learning support centre (LSC) provision for secondary age pupils with Specific Literacy Difficulties (SpLD) at Cwmtawe Community School.

Reasons for proposed decision:

This decision is necessary to comply with the formal publication requirements imposed on the Council by the School Organisation Code and associated legislation. A draft statutory notice is attached as appendix D. Implementation of the proposal will enable the Council to promote high educational standards and the fulfilment of every child’s potential. It will also enable the Council to meet its duty to ensure that resources are utilised effectively in line with the need for specialist places within the County Borough.

Implementation of the decision:

The decision is proposed for implementation after the three day call in period.
