Members to Declare any Interests Please indicate whether the interest is a personal one only or one which is prejudicial. A declaration of a personal interest should indicate the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of a personal interest, the member may speak and vote on the matter. Please note that if you are exempt from declaring a personal interest because it arises solely from your position on a body to which you were nominated by the County Council or a body exercising functions of a public nature (e.g. another local authority), you need only declare your interest if and when you intend to speak on a matter. If a prejudicial interest is declared, the member should withdraw from the room whilst the matter is discussed unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, in which case you may attend the meeting for that purpose. You must immediately leave the room when you have finished or the meeting decides you have finished, if earlier. These declarations apply to all those members present, whether the member is part of the meeting, attending to speak as a local member on an item or simply observing the meeting from the public seating area. 4.

For these schools the remaining list of rules are used to prioritise applications if the school is over subscribed. Children in Public Care and Looked After Children In oversubscription rules "children in public care" and "looked after children" are defined as looked after children and previously looked after children.

  • Norfolk UTC Impact Assessment Annex B
    Annex B Impact Assessment for Norfolk UTC 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 (as amended by the Education Act 2011) places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the institution would likely be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and alternative provision in the area in which the institution is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. 2. We have carried out an Impact Assessment which concludes that the impact on most local schools should be minimal to moderate. However, five schools within the local area of the proposed UTC may feel a high impact on the opening of the proposed UTC and be at risk of losing a significant number of pupils but the UTC is putting measures in place to help mitigate any impact (see para 5 below). The UTC will only have a minimal impact on the surrounding further education colleges. The assessment has also concluded that the secondary school population in Norfolk is forecast to rise by 9.5% in the next few years, therefore, any potential negative impact may be mitigated by an increased demand for secondary school places. 3. All local authorities within the Norfolk UTC’s catchment area were invited to provide their view on the proposed UTC. Norfolk and Suffolk local authorities expressed their support for a UTC and Norfolk LA continues to play an active role in its development. None of the other local authorities has opposed the establishment of Norfolk UTC.
