DES open Public Consultation – Value for Money review for small schools

 

The Department of Education and Skills started a value for money review of the provision of small primary schools and are looking for your views . For the purpose of the review a small primary school is taken to be one with less than 50 pupils.

The type of issues that the DES want submissions to address are as follows:

 How well do small primary schools (of 50 pupils or less) meet the needs of pupils/parents/teachers?

  • Are the current minimum enrolment thresholds appropriate in terms of the distances between neighbouring schools?
  • Is the current provision efficiently organised in terms of
    • Use of resources (human, financial and capital)
    • Distance between schools
  • Would you suggest alternative policy or organisational approaches?
  • Any  further comments  ?

 The closing date for submission is 18th March 2011.
