TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO PERMANENTLY EXPAND TOWN FARM PRIMARY SCHOOL IN STANWELL
The demand for primary school places in Stanwell has been on a slowly upward trajectory since 2011. Bulge classes have been added to Town Farm and Stanwell Fields schools three times in the past six years (four additional forms of entry in total).
Although the demand has not been consistent year on year, the forecast to 2025 indicates a need for at least 140 Reception places per year and the current combined Published Admission Number is only 120.
Stanwell village is on the extreme north eastern border of Surrey, adjacent to the London boroughs of Hillingdon and Hounslow. Public transport links to other Surrey schools are not easy, the nearest adjacent Surrey planning area being Ashford. People in Stanwell are therefore somewhat cut off from other options of Surrey primary schools.
Decision: It was agreed that the Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Educational Achievement:
I. determine whether there is sufficient evidence to permanently expand Town Farm Primary School (a two form entry school with a PAN of 60) by one form of entry (new PAN of 90) in 2017/ 2018; and
II. subject to the approval of Recommendation 1 note the proposed solution for adding accommodation to the school and anticipate the Cabinet report seeking the release of funding for the scheme. |
