To consider the establishment of a Pupil Referral Unit for up to thirty secondary aged permanently excluded pupils on two sites from 1 April 2011.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the establishment of a pupil referral unit for up to thirty secondary school age, permanently excluded, pupils.  Under Section 19 of the Education Act 1966 Local Authorities have a statutory duty to make arrangements for pupils who are resident in the Local Authority area, who are permanently excluded from school, and who are not on the role of a school.  The proposal was to base the unit on two sites with effect from 1 April 2011.

 

RESOLVED

 

That approval be given to the establishment of a Pupil Referral Unit, for up to thirty secondary aged permanently excluded pupils, based on two sites from 1 April 2011.
