Minutes:

Consideration has been given to amending the school catchment areas in the East Gateshead in light of the Minister for Education’s decision to close Thomas Hepburn Community Academy at the end of August 2019.

 

 

 

RESOLVED -

 

That the use of the following catchment areas for the academic year 2020/21 and future years be approved:

 

 

 

 

 

·         Thomas Hepburn’s catchment area has been divided between Heworth Grange and Joseph Swan secondary school catchment areas based on the temporary arrangements agreed for the 2019/20 admissions round

 

 

 

 

 

·         Kelvin Grove Primary School (currently Joseph Swan Academy catchment) becomes part of the Kingsmeadow Comprehensive School catchment area

 

 

 

 

 

·         Fell Dyke Primary School (currently part of Joseph Swan Academy’s catchment and prior to that part of Thomas Hepburn catchment) becomes part of the Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy catchment area.

 

 

 

The above decisions have been made to enable parents to apply for a secondary school place within the current catchment area based school admissions policy.
