Change of Age Range at Arley Primary School

Overview

This consultation is being undertaken to advise you of proposals concerning Arley Primary School, and to invite you to tell us what you think of the proposals. This is part of a statutory consultation process that Warwickshire County Council is managing in partnership with the school’s Governing Body.  The proposal is:

1. To change the age range at Arley Primary School from 3 - 11 to 4 - 11 from September 2022. The published admission number (PAN) for the main school will not be affected by these proposals. The PAN for the maintained nursery class will cease to exist, as nursery provision will be offered in a more flexible way, according to parental demand.

2. To run all nursery provision for eligible 3 and  4 year olds via Community Facility Powers, under the direction of the School Governors from September 2022.

There will be no reduction in, nor material change to, the service provided by the school.

Why your views matter
