Issue details

Dollis Junior School is a foundation school for children aged 7-11 and Dollis Infant School is a community school for children aged 2-7. The two schools are located next to each other on Pursley Road in Mill Hill.  The schools have run a public consultation, which lasted for six weeks from 29 October 2018 to 9 December 2018, and a representation period for which notice was given in accordance with section 19(1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 on 10 January 2019 and ran for four weeks on a proposal to close Dollis Junior School, expand the age range of Dollis Infant School and subsequently amalgamate the two schools. Notice was published between the consultation period and the representation period.  Following the consultation and representation period, the Governing Bodies of both schools have decided to proceed with the amalgamation and the Council now needs to decide whether to approve the amalgamation of the schools.
