The Governing Body of Crown Meadow First School and Nursery are informally consulting on consideration to amend the age range of the school from 3 to 9 to 2 to 9.

This consultation will enable all stakeholders to have a say as part of the initial consideration of this change. If supported, this proposal will be formally suggested to the Local Authority for the Cabinet Member for Education to determine whether to formally propose the change for the school. A further consultation period will then commence. 

The informal consultation period closed on Friday 20 May 2022. 

Details of the proposal and response form can be found below and on the school website. Responses must be made by the closing date and submitted to the school office.

We are proposing to amend the age range of Chawson First School from 5 to 9 to 3 to 9 from 1 September 2022 in order to incorporate their three-year-old nursery, currently operated under the Community Powers of the Governing Body, into the maintained provision of the school.

The Local Authority is the sole proposer and decision maker for a change of this type. Any proposed changes at community schools must be published and an adequate representation period provided to allow interested parties to comment on the proposal before a decision made. This proposal has been made in agreement with the Governing Body and Senior Leadership of the school.

The four-week representation period closed on Monday 25 April 2022.
