Purpose

Lancashire County Council has a statutory duty to ensure that a primary or secondary school place is available for every child of statutory school age living in Lancashire who requests one.

As a result of a rising secondary school population and increasing primary school population moving through to secondary schools, additional secondary school places are required in Pendle for the 2022/23 academic year and beyond.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
