A member attended the meeting and expressed concern about the way in which the issue had been handled and asked what lessons had been leaned for the future.  The Education, Employment and Skills Portfolio Holder responded that he was of the opinion that there had been unhelpful political involvement in the process and that if a school had more places than it needed then this had an impact on other schools in the area.

(1)       That the proposal to reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) at Carrwood Primary School from 60 to 30 from 1 September 2021 be approved.

 

(2)       That the proposal to reduce the Published Admission Number (PAN) at Low Ash Primary School from 90 to 60 from 1 September 2021 be approved.
