Cabinet report - Item 14 - 27th May 2010 - REVIEW OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACES: REPORT ON OUTCOME OF CONSULTATIONS ON PROPOSAL TO CLOSE ROCK FERRY HIGH SCHOOL AND PARK HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH AN ACADEMY
Closure of Park High School and Rock Ferry High School
We would like to hear your views about the following proposal:
To close Park High and Rock Ferry High Schools on 31st August 2011 in order to open a new Academy on 1st September 2011.
The Council considers that the proposal is in the best interests of children, parents and staff at both Park High School and Rock Ferry High School and within the Birkenhead area as a whole. This proposal would bring together the two schools to create a single Academy to serve the Birkenhead area, increasing the opportunities for, and raising the performance of, all students in this area. The Governing Bodies at both schools have voted to support the development of an Academy in principle.
The sponsors backing the Academy are as follows;
- University of Chester (lead sponsor),
- Birkenhead Sixth Form College (co-sponsor)
- University of Liverpool (co-sponsor)
- Wirral Metropolitan College (co-sponsor)
- Wirral Council (also a co-sponsor).
The Closure Consultation
By law, Wirral Council as the local authority must consult on the closure of the two secondary schools separately from the consultation on the establishment of the new Academy, although the two consultations will take place at the same time.
The closure consultation will run until 7th April 2010.
