Decision details

As Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, I agree to:

Issue a public notice to

·           permanently increase the designated number of the school from 209 to 348 for 1 September 2019.

·           alter the lower age range at Meadowfield School to formally include nursery provision for 1 September 2019.

And, subject to no new objections to the public notice

i.               Allocate  £3.95 million from the Children, Young People and Education Capital budget

ii.               Authorise the Director of Infrastructure in consultation with the General Counsel (Interim) to enter into any necessary contracts/ agreements on behalf of the County Council; and

iii.               Authorise the Director of Infrastructure to be the nominated Authority Representative within the relevant agreements and to enter into variations as envisaged under the contracts. Variations to contract value to be no more than 10% above the capital funding agreed by the Cabinet Member without requiring a new Record of Decision.

Note: The proposal for growth is subject to planning permission being secured for the additional accommodation.  If, for any reason planning consent is not achieved KCC proposes to regularise the designated number to reflect the current number on roll.  Therefore, under these circumstances, the proposed designated number would be 280.
