Out Rawcliffe Church of England Primary School - Reverter of Sites Act
What is happening?
REVERTER OF SITES ACT - EXTINGUISHMENT OF RIGHTS
Out Rawcliffe Church of England Primary School, PR3 6BH
Whereas:
1. It is believed that at some point in time the site (and buildings) of what became known as Out Rawcliffe Church of England Primary School was granted to trustees pursuant to section 2 of the Schools Sites Act 1841. It is believed that the site was owned by Thomas Robert Wilson Ffrance, but copies of any legible deeds are unavailable and so there is some uncertainty over this.
2. The said school premises ceased to be used for the purposes of a voluntary school in 2014 and, pursuant to section 1 of the Reverter of Sites Act 1987, a trust for sale is believed to have arisen in respect of the said premises.
Now take notice:
1. The Diocese of Blackburn has made an application to the Secretary of State for Education for the inclusion of the above-named school in an Order under section 554 of the Education Act 1996. The purpose of the Order is to allow the assets of the foundation to be used for the benefit of new and continuing Church of England schools within the diocese. The same Order will extinguish the rights of any beneficiary under the trust for sale.
2. Any beneficiary who wishes to oppose the extinguishment of their rights must notify their claim in writing to Esther Campsall at Anthony Collins Solicitors, 134 Edmund St, Birmingham B3 2ES, no later than 20th December 2025 (being three months following the publication of this notice).
