Over 12 years ago Surrey County Council opened eight specialist centres across the county for junior aged pupils with Learning Difficulties (LD). The pupils now attending the Learning and Additional Needs (LAN) Centres have greater levels of need than when they first opened. As a result the centres were not originally set up to admit such a cohort and they require additional capital works in order to meet the needs of pupils now accessing the provision.

 

Decision:

It was agreed that, following consultations of the financial details outlined in the part 2 report,  the Cabinet Member:

 

1.    Approves the Business Case for improving the facilities at Ashford Park, Loseley Fields and Oakfield schools in order that the centres are better able to meet the needs of pupils with a greater level of need.

2.    Approves the arrangements by which a variation of up to 10% of the total value may be agreed by the Deputy Chief Executive and Strategic Director for Children, School and Families in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Educational Achievement, the Cabinet Member for Business Services and Residential Experience and the Leader of the Council.
