Decision to publish a Statutory Notice on a proposal to expand primary provision at Hunslet St Mary’s Primary School.

The Director Children’s Services submitted a report providing details of a proposal to increase learning places at Hunslet St. Mary’s Church of England Primary School which had been brought forward to meet the local authority’s duty to ensure sufficiency of school places, and which supported the Best Council Plan priorities to improve educational achievement and close achievement gaps. The report sought permission to publish a statutory notice in respect of such proposals.
