    Primary Commissioning in Sevenoaks District - 12/01950

    All school expansions are now listed as individual decisions and therefore the overarching decisions have been abandoned.

     

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    The Cabinet Member to agree to the proposal to:

     

    a) commission enlargements of Lady Boswell's CE PS and Sevenoaks PS by 1FE each, for September 2013.

     

    b) confirm enlargement of Otford Primary School from a PAN of 50 to 60 for September 2013 .

     

     

    How the decision relates to BS4K and Corporate Objectives

    The project is in line with Kent strategies and in particular supports the following;

     Bold Steps for Kent prioritises 

    3  Ensure all pupils meet their full potential

    4: Shape education and skills provision around the needs of the Kent economy

    9. Support new housing growth that is affordable, sustainable and with the appropriate infrastructure

     

    The Commissioning Plan

    One of the key strategic roles of the Local Authority is to ensure there are sufficient education places of high quality available to the children and young people of Kent.  This responsibility is intertwined with our other strategic duties; to promote high standards in schools, and to be the champion of children, families and their communities.  The new Commissioning Plan will set out how Kent will discharge its responsibility as the Strategic Commissioner of education provision

    These proposals are incorporated in the 'Commissioning Plan for Education – Kent'.

    Impact/costs and risks of proposed decision

    Cost for Lady Boswells CE PS is estimated at £1.5m.

     

    The cost for Sevenoaks PS is not known at this stage, but is expected to be between £1.5 - £1.75m.

     

    Funding for the Otford PS enlargement has already been identified in the medium term plan.

     

    If this proposal does not go ahead, there will be a risk of there being insufficient Year R places for parts of Sevenoaks Town for September 2013
