On 20 March 2017 the Executive Member for
Education decided to publish a statutory notice in accordance with
sections 15 and 19 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006,
setting out the County Council’s intention to
amalgamate Fort Hill Secondary School and Cranbourne Business and
Enterprise College, Basingstoke including the Fort Hill Special
Educational Needs resourced provision. This would be achieved
through the closure of the Fort Hill School and creation of a
larger secondary school on the Cranbourne site. The report for that
decision sets out the history and context behind the
proposal alongside the findings of the initial consultation with
parents, pupils and other interested parties. This report sets out
the context leading to that decision and reports back on the
representations received to the
statutory notice.
