Who decides statutory proposals (under 2002, 2005 and 2006 Education Acts)?
Q : We are enlarging the capacity of the school by 175 places to 1,100 (less than 25% of the net capacity assessment (NCA) and less than 200 pupils) and we have not previously enlarged the capacity. However, when compared with the old More Open Enrolment (MOE) number, the NCA calculation increased the capacity by 50 places . As the combined increase in physical capacity is more than 200 (175 + 50), do we need to publish a statutory proposal? No, you do not need to publish a statutory proposal. The introduction of the NCA overrode the old system of MOE. The NCA should be taken as the baseline figure, as at 5 years before the decision to do the current enlargement. So in this example, the only physical increase in the last 5 years is the currently proposed increase of 175.
