West Byfleet Infant and Junior Schools: expansion pdf icon PDF 47 KB

    There is increasing pressure for primary school places in Woking. In addition to the demand generated by an increasing birth rate, there is a need to provide more school places in the Borough as a result of additional housing and net inward migration. The Local Authority has recently consulted on the proposed expansion of West Byfleet Infant and Junior Schools in partnership with the Governing Bodies of both schools.

    Decision:

    That the expansion of the infant and junior schools, from two to three forms of entry, from September 2015 be approved.

Hurst Park Primary School pdf icon PDF 57 KB

    School rolls have been rising steadily across Elmbridge Borough since 2002 and there is an immediate requirement for additional places in the Moleseys Primary Planning area. To ensure sufficient provision of primary school places in West Molesey, Surrey County Council is proposing the expansion of Hurst Park Primary School to two Forms of Entry (2FE) with effect from 1 September 2015.  This proposal also recommends that Surrey County rebuilds the school on a new site approximately a half a mile away on Hurst Road.

    Decision:

    Approved that Statutory Notices are published to the effect that:

    ·         Hurst Park Primary School is enlarged by 1 form of entry (from 1 FE to 2 FE) on 1 September 2015

    ·         The school will be relocated to the former John Nightingale School site on Hurst Road, West Molesey

     

    Approved that:

    ·         An associated building programme goes ahead to provide a new Hurst Park Primary school
