Notice of proposed decision first published: 23/12/2024

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Following a Directive Academy Order issued by the Secretary of State, Bury Secondary PRU Spring Lane School is due to transfer to Oak Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust on 1 January 2025. Despite exhaustive efforts, a side letter agreement and a subsequent amendment to the Commercial Transfer Agreement (CTA) have now been agreed between Oak Learning Partnership and Bury Council, which was unable to be completed in line with Cabinet reporting cycle for a decision. The side letter agreement and amendment to the CTA focuses on the future school estate for the Secondary Pupil Referral Unit provision after academy conversion.

Decision due: December 2024 by Cabinet

Lead member: Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Children and Young People

Lead director: Executive Director of Children and Young People
