Decision:
RESOLVED:
That, subject to the agreement of the detailed financial information for the project as set out in the Part 2 annex to the submitted report, the business case for the reprovision of the school building be approved.
Reason for decision:
The current block is dilapidated and beyond economic repair. The funding from the Department for Education (DfE) affords the opportunity to replace the existing block and provide children with a new education facility to use for another 60+ years rather than an old, outdated and worn out building.
If this is not undertaken SCC will lose the PSBP2 funding from DfE, and will need to carry out the same project at a later date at its own cost while suffering on going inefficient maintenance costs.

Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for All-Age Learning introduced a report that set out the business case for the reprovision of the Junior Block (a single stand-alone building) at Tadworth Primary School. Financial details were contained in a Part 2 report. The project has been awarded funding under the Department for Education’s (DfE) Priority Schools Building Programme 2 (PSBP2). A full Business Case would be formed following planning consent. The Governing Body had signed off on the plans and the admission criteria would not change.
The Cabinet Member for Adults & Public Health spoke in favour of the recommendation.
