Proposed Expansion of Sayes Court Primary School from 1 to 2 Forms of Entry
There is increasing pressure for primary school places in Runnymede. 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. In partnership with the Interim Executive Board, the Local Authority has recently consulted on the proposed expansion of Sayes Court from one to two forms of entry by 2015. The Cabinet Member is asked to consider the results of the consultation and to decide whether to publish statutory notices indicating the Local Authority’s intention to proceed with the proposal. Decision: Agreed to publish statutory notices indicating the Local Authority’s intention to expand Sayes Court Primary School from one to two forms of entry by September 2015. |

To Determine a Proposal to Publish Public Notices to Expand Manby Lodge Infant School
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. Decision: 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. |

To determine Proposal to Expand St Alban's Catholic Primary School, East Molesey
Primary school places are in high demand in the Moleseys as a result of the birthrate increasing across Elmbridge Borough by 21.6% in the last decade. Other demographics, such as new housing and inward migration, are also adding to the demand and there is an increasing need for more denominational places in catholic primary schools across the borough and the wider deanery. Working in partnership with the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, Surrey County Council is proposing to expand St Alban’s Catholic Primary School by one form of entry with effect from 1 September 2015. Decision: 1. Approved that the school is permanently enlarged by 1 form of entry (from 1 FE to 2 FE).
2. Approved that this expansion would be effective from 1 September 2015.
3. Approved that the expansion is managed incrementally, starting with an additional Reception class in 2015 and building up a year at a time until the school is 2FE in every year group by 2020.
4. Approved that an associated building programme is commissioned to provide additional accommodation to meet the basic need for more classrooms to support the expansion. This will be funded by a Department for Education grant for the project awarded to the County Council as a result of its Targeted Basic Need bid in 2013. |

Riverbridge Primary School was formed two years ago with the amalgamation of three schools. It has operated on the three existing sites as a split site school. This has become very difficult to manage and resource and the Stanwell New Road site is less popular with parents. The Governing Body is therefore requesting we consolidate the school onto the two sites at Knowle Green. Decision: Approved that Statutory Notices be published to the effect that:
· Stanwell New Road Base ceases to operate as part of the Riverbridge Primary School with effect from the end of the present academic year – July 2014. Other educational uses for this site are being considered as part of the overall strategy for education provision.
· An associated building programme goes ahead in a single phase to provide three new classrooms and some improvements to outdoor play space on the Park Avenue Base. |
