Notice is given in accordance with Section 19(1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 that Birmingham City Council (‘the Council’) is proposing to make a prescribed alteration to St Benedict’s Infant School, St Benedict’s Road, Birmingham B10 9DP (‘the School’), a community primary school as follows:

• Change the upper age limit at the School from 7 years to 11 years so as to offer junior (key stage 2 provision) with effect from 1st September 2018. The current age range is 3 – 7 years. The proposed age range is 3 – 11 years

Altering the upper age limit will enable the school to become an all through primary school with both key stage 1(infant) and key stage 2 (junior) phases.
The current net capacity of the school is 450.
The proposed net capacity of the school is 420
The Office of the School Adjudicator approved a change to the admission number for September 2018 to 60.
