Outcome:
Is Key Decision?: No
Is Callable In?: Yes
Purpose:
Content: RESOLVED: That Cabinet endorses the School Organisation Plan 2025 which will meet our statutory duties to ensure that there are sufficient high-quality places for pupils in Surrey and refer it to Council to approve its publication. Reasons for Decisions: The School Organisation Plan is a key document used by schools and education stakeholders in considering medium- and long-term plans. Sufficiency of high-quality school places is a key statutory duty and underpins a great education for all and therefore, it is necessary to review the plan to ensure that the best and most up to date information is published for use in this process. This will encourage collaborative and collegiate planning and will provide greater transparency and understanding to local communities.
