Marlbrook Primary School: new permanent accommodation and additional on-site car parking

 

 

To approve the business case for a new permanent building at Marlbrook Primary School to accommodate the additional pupils admitted from 2014 in response to rising numbers in South Hereford and to meet parental preference, and to agree the procurement approach to deliver the required works.

 

Marlbrook Primary School is rated as an outstanding school by Ofsted and has been consistently oversubscribed since 2011. In 2015 and 2016 additional permanent and temporary accommodation was provided to enable the school to take in additional children.

Funding has been identified in the council’s capital programme to enable Marlbrook Primary School to become a full three form entry school.

 

A design and build approach is being recommended for delivery of the extension.

 

The scheme will provide additional classroom and associated support spaces, as well as addressing car parking and other traffic management issues.
