    Commissioning of primary school places in Thanet district - 12/01960

    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 enlarge Palm Bay Primary School by .5 FE.  This is a permanent significant enlargement and as such requires formal process including issue of public notice.  There are other proposals which do not require this legal procedure, namely:

    §         Drapers Mills Primary School expansion by 1 FE

    §         Garlinge Primary School & Nursery expansion by 1 FE

    §         Northdown Primary School expansion by .5 FE.

     

    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'.
