As Leader, I agree to support the expansion of The Judd School, Brook Street, Tonbridge, TN9 2PN, thereby increasing the PAN from 155 to 180 selective secondary school places from September 2019. Therefore, I agree to:
i. Allocate £1.5 million from the Basic Needs budget to fund the permanent expansion of The Judd School.
ii. Authorise the Director of Infrastructure in consultation with General Counsel to enter into any necessary contracts/agreements on behalf of the County Council
iii. Authorise the Director of Infrastructure to be nominated Authority Representative within the relevant agreements and to enter into variant ion as envisaged under the contracts
The decision is conditional upon planning permission being granted and final approval by the Secretary of State. 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.
