Issue - meetings

Surrey County Council is putting robust plans in place to ensure that its popular 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 Key Stage 1 planning area currently needs an additional form of entry (or 30 Reception places); Surrey County Council plans to expand Manby Lodge Infant School to meet this demand.

1.    Approved that Statutory Notices be published to the effect that:

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

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

2.    Approved that an associated building programme goes 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.
