As Cabinet Member for Education and Health Reform I have taken the decision to:
(i) Issue a public notice to expand Chantry Community Academy, by 30 Reception places from 1FE to 2FE.
And, subject to no objections being received to the public notice
(ii) Expand the school
(iii) Allocate £6000 per classroom from the ‘revenue re-organisation’ for classroom improvements
(iv) AUTHORISE the Director of Property and Infrastructure Support in consultation with the Director of Law and Governance to enter into any necessary contracts/ agreements on behalf of the County Council
(v) AUTHORISE the Director of Property and Infrastructure Support to be the nominated Authority Representative within the relevant agreements and to enter into variations as envisaged under the contracts
Should objections, not already considered by the Cabinet Member when taking this decision, be received during the notice period a separate decision will be required in order to continue the proposal and expand the school to allow for proper consideration of the points raised.
