Forward plan

Determination of the statutory notice proposing the closure of Tiverton Primary School New!

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member Signing

Decision due:   14 Apr 2025

Lead officer:  Corporate Director of Children's Services (Statutory DCS)

Notice of proposed decision first published: 04/04/2025

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The Local Authority has been working to a very compressed statutory timeline to ensure final outcome on the future of Tiverton Primary School by the end of the academic year. Failure to secure a Lead Member sign off before the statutory HR consultation with school staff begins on 22 April 2025 risks causing a financial burden on the Council’s General Fund because the staff consultation will be delayed - if we don’t get school staff on notice in time we will need to pay them for the remaining 4 months (September – December 2025) with no school open and children to teach.

Anticipated restriction: Public  -
