  • Item 4 School Organisation Committee 5 October 2004
    ITEM 4 SCHOOL ORGANISATION COMMITTEE 5 OCTOBER 2004 SCHOOL ORGANISATION PLAN 2004 - 2009 (Director of Education) 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The School Standards and Framework Act, 1998, sets out arrangements for decisions on school organisation to be taken at a local level. 1.2 The School Organisation Plan is a contextual document. It draws conclusions about the need to add or to remove school places within the local authority area and covers a five-year period. The Plan is subject to widespread consultation and facilitates a local understanding of the need for school places and the need to establish future demand. 1.3 The draft School Organisation Plan for 2004-2009 was published on 7 July for statutory consultation. It was approved by the Executive Member for Education for Bracknell Forest Borough Council on 28 September. This paper seeks the School Organisation Committee’s approval to the final Plan for 2004-09. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS That: 2.1 the comments received on the Draft School Organisation Plan and the LEA’s commentary on these be noted; 2.2 the School Organisation Plan (Annex C accompanying this report) be approved for publication in October 2004. 3. ADVICE RECEIVED FROM STATUTORY AND OTHER OFFICERS Borough Solicitor 3.1 The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 provides a framework for new arrangements for local decision making on issues relating to school organisation and for Regulations to provide more detail. The Education (School Organisation Plan) Regulations, the Education (School Organisation Committee) Regulations and the Education (School Adjudicators’ Procedure) Regulations all came into force in 1999.

    ORGAN OF THE 11111114 N111 111111 Ai 01 II BRITISH UNION CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS MESSENGER EDITOR W. L. EMMERSON VOLUME 70 • NUMBER 26 DECEMBER 17, 1965 A Message to Our People from The Northern European Division Winter Council E, the members of the Northern European Division Executive Committee, assembled on this first occasion in our newly dedicated headquarters office in St. Albans W for the purpose of transacting necessary business in connection with the orderly and successful prosecution of the work of God in Northern Europe, West Africa, and Ethiopia, send warm Christian greetings to all our believers and their children in these many countries. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our membership for their loyalty to the message and to the church, and for their sacrificial support under the prospering hand of God of our evangelistic field and institutional programmes, thus helping to make it possible for us to vote the largest budget in the history of the Northern European Division. Through the fruitful co-operation of the ministry and laity under the blessing of God, an unprecedented harvest of souls has been brought into the brotherhood of the church and substantial material advancement of the work has resulted in all lands of the Division. The Northern European Division is a far-flung field. The work has spread marvellously, especially in the African fields, but, brethren and sisters, much remains to be done. Political, religious, and social events indicate with precision that we are indeed living in the climactic period of this globe's history. The lengthening corridors of time are rapidly leading human events toward the "night when no man can work." In such a time as this there is a need for the total energies of our churches to be focused on the task at hand, and for yet deeper devotion and consecrated commitment.
