Cross Party Support for Decisions around Schools to be made Locally

At last night's Council meeting. a motion passed with cross party support calling for decisions around schools to be made locally. Since a number of Leicestershire Schools became academies, decisions around school place planning, school improvement, oversight of admissions and catchment area policies have been controlled centrally in Whitehall rather than by local Councils. This has often left the Council unable to address local issues around catchment area changes and the impact on school transport as they lack the powers to do so.
