Issue - meetings

Surrey County Council is putting plans in place to ensure that its most effective schools meet the increased demand for places. Primary school places in Surrey are in high demand, and Elmbridge is an area that has experienced a particularly significant increase. Weybridge primary planning area currently needs an additional form of entry; Surrey County Council plans to expand Manby Lodge Infant School to meet this demand at Key Stage One.

In order to meet increased demand for primary school places in Weybridge, it was agreed that:

·         Manby Lodge Infant School be enlarged by 1 form of entry (from 2 FE to 3 FE) on 1 September 2015.

·         The school roll be increased by one form each year until September 2017 when its capacity will be 270 pupils.

·         An associated building programme go ahead, in a single phase, to provide appropriate new classrooms and facilitate the removal of all temporary accommodation on site. The new build will improve the overall layout of the school and is intended to provide a modern educational facility which will enhance learning.
