The Local Authority, in exercise of the powers conferred on it, has determined that the school implement the proposal.  The reasons for the decision are contained in section 7 of the Cabinet report:

"To enable the Governing Body of King’s Norton Boys’ School to alter the upper age limit of the school from 11-18 to 11-16 years to remove the sixth form provision which is both financially and operationally unviable.

King's Norton Boys' School is a foundation secondary school for boys in the Bournville ward of the Selly Oak district of the City.
