St Andrew’s Primary School enlargement

Date published: 10 July 2013


Proposals to change the age range of St Andrew’s Primary School to three to eleven years with the establishment of a Nursery Class, and for a significant enlargement have been approved.

The School will admit up to 45 children in each new year group with effect from 1 September 2014.

The age range of the school will change to 3-11 years by the establishment of a 26 full-time equivalent place Nursery Class with effect from 1 September 2014.

Consultation on the proposals was undertaken between 17 April and 17 June 2013 in accordance with the Department for Education statutory guidance. As part of a public consultation process the Pennines Township Committee and the Council Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered the proposals.

In considering the matter, the Chairman permitted representatives from other primary schools in the Pennines Township, and representatives of St Andrews CE Primary School, to address the Rochdale Council Cabinet.
