following procedure when exercising its function as the relevant
decision maker under Schedule 2 Education and Inspections Act 2006
to consider school reorganisation proposals which attract statutory
objections. The Cabinet has also adopted this procedure for the
determination of other non statutory education organisation
proposals which have attracted objections.
Decisions will be taken by a
Committee comprising of 3 or 5 Cabinet members sitting as a Cabinet
Sub Committee who will elect one member as Chair.
Representatives from the
Chester(CE) Diocesan Board of Education , the Diocese of Shrewsbury
Catholic Education and nominated primary, secondary, special
school, nursery and foundation school governors (where appropriate)
will be invited to attend and offer advice to the Sub Committee
where the proposals impact on their sector of educational
provision.
