Minutes:
Councillor Amy Whitelock Gibbs, Cabinet Member for Education and Children’s Services, introduced the report. She explained that it was a positive report in enabling the expansion of much-needed school provision. This included fitting out a new two form entry primary school and providing additional sixth form places at two schools.
The report set out information for both projects including the specific funding requirements in each case as well demonstrating the overall need for school places. It was noted that at George Green School this work would also enable the replacement of some existing facilities as well as the expansion. The report also set out how the local communities would be able to access the new facilities.
During discussion Cabinet noted the free-school competition process that would need to be followed.
The Mayor agreed the recommendations as set out in the report.
