Full Statutory Proposal to Discontinue Great Alne Primary School 

Overview

In accordance with Section 15 (1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 and the School Organisation (Establishment and Discontinuance of Schools) Regulations 2013, Warwickshire County Council is proposing to close Great Alne Primary School with effect from 31st August 2026.  

The reason for this proposal is that there has been a significant reduction of pupils joining Great Alne Primary School over the last five years from 102 in January 2021 to 13 in January 2026. The high number of unfilled places at the school means that the school has become financially unviable. With no projected increase in numbers and a growing budget deficit, the school will not be able to sustain the financial and educational responsibilities to their pupils and staff.

The Council’s Cabinet will meet after the end of the representation period to take the final decision on whether to discontinue Great Alne Primary School.
