The latest update on surplus primary school places in the West Wight will be presented, as planned, to a meeting of the Cabinet of the Isle of Wight Council next week (Thursday 12th September).
A verbal update will be given to the meeting by Cabinet member for children’s services, education and skills, Councillor Paul Brading.
The further report on surplus primary school places in the West Wight will then be presented at the 10th October Cabinet meeting of the council.
Councillor Brading said:
“Ongoing discussions are continuing, to be able to deliver the report to Cabinet on time. This will be after the completion of further discussions, and after all proper advice has been considered.”
Last month the council withdrew the public notice it issued on 19th July in relation to school places in the West Wight, following a legal challenge, and confirmed that a new report would be brought forward.
Councillor Brading said:
“This issue continues to be given our fullest consideration with the absolute focus being the best interests of schoolchildren in the West Wight, both now and for the long term sustainability.”
