Expansion of Bisley CofE Primary School from Sept 2013
To approve the provision of a permanent build to expand Bisley Church of England (C of E) Primary School to 2 forms of entry to meet basic need requirements for primary places in this area of Woking.
The Local Authority has a statutory duty to provide sufficient school places. Earlier in the year, the Army indicated to Surrey County Council that about 120 families of servicemen from the 2nd Yorkshire Regiment (‘2 Yorks’) were expected to be returning to the UK from Cyprus next year and children would require a school place for a September 2013 start. Bisley C of E Primary is the best placed school to expand to meet this demand. The demand is such that the expansion is required for September 2013.
