    Purpose:

    To seek approval to the permanent expansion ofJoy Lane (Community) Primary School by 210 places taking the PAN to 90 (3FE) for the September 2015 intake and eventually a total capacity of 630 places.

     

    a.          Capital – The enlargement of the school requires the provision of 7 additional classrooms, as well as ancillary facilities.  A feasibility study has been commissioned. The total cost is estimated to be in the region of £1,500,000.  Appropriate funding has been identified as part of the Medium Term Capital Programme.   The costs of the project are estimates and these may increase as the project is developed.  If the cost of the project is greater than 10% the Cabinet Member will be required to take a further decision to allocate the additional funding.

    b.          Revenue – For a period of three academic years from September 2015, the school will receive protection for an additional 30 Reception Year pupils at the rate of £2,727 per pupil.  For each additional classroom, resulting from the expansion of the school, the sum of £6,000 will be allocated towards the classroom setup costs.

    c.          Human – Joy Lane Primary School will appoint additional teachers, as the school size increases and the need arises.
