Content

Cabinet RESOLVED:
 
(1)       
To note the historical context and background set out in the
report.
 
(2)       
To note that the Yusuf Islam Foundation (YIF) had issued eviction
notices to its Voluntary Aided Islamia Primary School and that the
future options for the school were for the school to either
relocate or close.
 
(3)       
To note the proposal to relocate Islamia Primary School to the
Gwenneth Rickus site as a 2FE school, subject to statutory
consultation.
 
(4)       
To note that the Governing Board would be responsible for making
the proposal through statutory consultation, with Cabinet the final
decision-maker.
 
(5)       
To note that if the school relocated to the Gwenneth Rickus site,
the site could be transferred into the
name of the YIF, who would be required
to hold the site for the benefit of the Islamia Primary School.
Further details in terms of ownership would be set out in a Trust
Deed. This would ensure that the primary school would be protected from eviction in future.
