Date of decision: 18 July 2012 Determination Under the powers conferred on me in Schedule 2 to the Education and Inspections Act 2006, I hereby approve the proposal to discontinue Guru Nanak Sikh Primary School with effect from 31 August 2012. The referral 1. Hillingdon Council (the Council) wrote to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator on 15 June 2012 referring its statutory proposal to discontinue Guru Nanak Sikh Primary School (the School) with effect from 31 August 2012.

Hence the Council referred the matter to the Schools Adjudicator, and provided supporting documentation. 3. I am satisfied that this proposal has been properly referred to me in accordance with Schedule 2 to the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (the Act) and that, therefore, I have jurisdiction to determine this matter. Procedures 4. In considering this matter, I have had regard to all relevant legislation and guidance. 5.
