Issue details
Relocation of Broadlands Bright Sparks Pre-school to enable the granting of a lease to the Education and Skills Funding Agency and the Barrs Court School Academy Trust for the development of a new SEN Free School
Broadlands Bright Sparks Pre-school is a
popular nursery judged outstanding by Ofsted in 2014 and currently
occupies space in the former Broadlands Primary School which was
relocated to the Aylestone site in 2015. This site is now required
for the delivery of a new Special Educational Needs Free School by
the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Alternative accommodation has been identified on the Aylestone High
School site that is in close proximity to their current location
however the area is not designed or set-up for use as a nursery.
Refurbishment work is required to create a stand-alone area that
can run independently of Aylestone with facilities appropriate for
that of a nursery that will meet any standards currently expected
by Ofsted.
