§ Mr. TimmsOnly one proposal for a change of school category has been rejected by a School Organisation Committee since the change of category regulations were introduced in September 2000. Proposals published by the governing body of Olney Middle Community School, to become a Foundation School, were rejected by Milton Keynes School Organisation Committee in March this year. The Committee stated that their reason for rejection was that the proposals were not in the best interests of education in the area because they did not demonstrate how the change would support improving standards.
In another five cases, the School Organisation Committee was not able to arrive at a unanimous decision, so the change proposals were referred to the Schools Adjudicator, who approved them.
