Issue - meetings

Surrey County Council has consulted on a proposal to expand the junior provision at Worplesdon Primary School by one form of entry, to three forms of entry in September 2016.

The education consultation period was from 3 July 2014 to 15 August 2014. There were also two public meetings held at the school on 14 July 2014, following which Statutory Notices were published at the school, at a local community facility, in the local newspaper and on the Surrey Says website, stating the intention to expand the school. This is in accordance with the School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained School) Regulations 2013.

The Cabinet Member is asked to review the comments received during the consultation period and it is recommended that the Statutory Notice be determined so that the proposal can be implemented

That the Statutory Notice stating the local authority’s intention to expand the junior provision at Worplesdon Primary School is determined, such that the school will admit a form of entry at junior level (Year 3) with a Published Admissions Number (PAN) of 30 from September 2016. The PAN for Reception will remain at 60 meaning that the school will have an overall capacity of 180 places in Reception – Year 2 and 360 places in Years 3 – 6.
