Sand Dunes Nursery School – proposal to commence statutory consultation

The Governing body of Sand Dunes Nursery School have written to the local authority stating that they are unable to set a budget and are unable to produce a plan which will bring the school back into budget. They are no longer financially viable and have therefore asked the local authority to commence a statutory consultation on a proposal to close the school.

The purpose is to provide background information relating to Sand Dunes Nursery School and to seek approval for the commencement of the statutory consultation process on a proposal to close the school.
