EXPANSION OF ST PETER’S CATHOLIC SCHOOL
The Governing Body of St Peter’s Catholic School (Voluntary Aided), in partnership with Surrey County Council (SCC) and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton have consulted on a proposal to expand the school by one form of entry from September 2017.
Following a public consultation, the Governing Body of the school voted on 2 December 2015 to proceed with the proposal.
As this is a prescribed alternation to the school, the final decision on whether to proceed with the expansion rests with the Local Authority. Therefore, the Cabinet Member is asked to review the education rationale for the project and the summary of the consultation responses provided within this report, to determine whether to proceed with implementing the proposal.
Decision: That St Peter’s Catholic School expands by one form of entry from September 2017 and that a programme of capitals works be provided to facilitate this change.
