Issue - meetings

To receive a report from the Corporate Director of Education and Young People’s Services informing the Cabinet Committee of the outcome of the public consultation on the proposal to permanently expand Hextable Primary School (Community) from 2FE to 3FE and requests members to recommend that the Cabinet Member for Education and Health Reform agrees to release sufficient funding to put the necessary infrastructure in place.

1) Ian Watts, Area Education Officer (North Kent), introduced the report proposing the enlargement of Hextable Primary School.

Mr Watts advised that he envisaged planning for the new parking and drop off point would begin in the two months following the meeting.

2) The Chairman confirmed the Head teacher, Chair of Governors and Area Education Officer all support the proposal.

2) RESOLVED that the decision be endorsed by the Education and Young People’s Services Cabinet Committee.
