Extending the Age Range at Alexandra Park Primary School

Overview

Alexandra Park Primary School and Stockport Council propose an expansion in the age range of the school to create a school nursery to serve the local community of the existing school.

This provision would replace the current ‘Alexandra Park Pre-school’ provision that is situated onsite at the school. The current pre-school has handed in their notice to terminate their contract. They will cease trading from 27^th July 2023.

We propose to open a school run nursery from 1^st September 2023 and will carry over any existing children from the pre-school provision.

Why your views matter

This pre-publication consultation is the first of two consultations required to make permanent change to the school's age range. At this early stage, the Council is wishing to understand the support for this proposal as well as any unintended consequeneces of the proposal.

What happens next

The Council will make a decision in late August 2022 as to whether it wishes to proceed into a statutory change process. Should it decide to publish a proposal to change the age range, it must consult again with any interested parties. A statutory consultation is likely to take place in the Autumn term of 2022.
