A proposal to close Montgomery Infant School and Nursery and a related proposal to enlarge the capacity and extend the age range of Montgomery Junior School, to allow it to become an all-through primary school

Notice is given in accordance with the Education and Inspections Act 2006 that Essex County Council, County Hall, Market Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1GS intends to make the following changes:

Part 1

In accordance with section 15(1) of the Act, to close Montgomery Infant School and Nursery (Community), Baronswood Way, Colchester, Essex, CO2 9QG on 31 March 2025. All statutory consultation requirements in respect of this proposal have been complied with. It is anticipated that pupils attending Montgomery Infant School and Nursery at the time of closure will transfer onto the roll of the current Montgomery Junior School which, under related proposals (see Part 2 of this notice), will be enlarged and its age range extended to become an all through primary school. Alternatively, admission may be sought to other schools in the area that have places available. Since the sites of Montgomery Infant School and Nursery and Montgomery Junior School adjoin, no specific arrangements are proposed for the travel of displaced pupils to other schools. Transport arrangements for pupils attending alternative schools will be in accordance with the County Council's published policy. However, individual cases will be considered on their merits.

Part 2

In accordance with section 19(1) of the Act, to make the following prescribed alterations:

(a) change the age range of pupils attending Montgomery Junior School (Community), Baronswood Way, Colchester, Essex, CO2 9QG from 7 to 11 to 3 to 11 years of age;

(b) enlarge the premises of the school to increase its physical capacity to 630 places plus 40 nursery places, by taking over the current site of Montgomery Infant School and Nursery.

Both of these proposed alterations will take effect from 1 April 2025. All statutory consultation requirements in respect of this proposal have been complied with. The current capacity of the school is 360 and the proposed capacity will be 630, plus 40 nursery places. Data for May 2024 show that there were 345 pupils on roll at Montgomery Junior School and 235 pupils, plus 40 nursery places on roll at Montgomery Infant School. If the proposals are implemented the enlarged Montgomery Junior School, providing education for pupils aged 3-11, will operate on the sites of the existing infant and the current junior school, which adjoin.
