Consultation process
Wiltshire Council and Stanton St Quintin Primary School have widely consulted on the proposal to lower the age range of the school to provide pre-school provision. Consultation with a range of stakeholders took place between 1 March 2020 and 27 March 2020 and preceded publication of the statutory proposals. There were 19 responses received to the consultation, all of which supported the proposal.
A public meeting was due to be held at the school on 23 March 2020 but unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the lockdown measures implemented by the Government for the COVID-19 outbreak. The school therefore requested that interested parties and stakeholders email any questions so they could be answered before the end of the consultation period. No questions were received.
The statutory proposal period ended on 23 May 2020. There were no objections or comments received.
