Purpose:

The decision of 5th August 2022 outlined the costs as detailed below:

After the completion of a full tender exercise the costs for the works have been calculated as:

Multi-gym equipment £10,564
Trim trail £33,171
Total: £43,735

The project will be funded from:

S106 (GT05 FIN1800) Monies Received £73,449.12
Spend Proposal £43,735.00
Remaining £29,714.12

Due to materials & transport, energy, labour and salary cost rises a variation of £2366 has been administered, taking the total project cost to £46,101.

The S106 has additional funding within the primary allocation to cover the additional cost.

The S106 agreement allocation will now have £27,348.12 remaining of which further projects are proposed for the development of the forest school and potential internal remodeling works.

Pupil numbers at the school have been increasing in recent years making it difficult to provide sufficient purposeful space for children to use at break times. The school are encouraging children to be as active as possible during breaks and put on a range of additional activities to encourage this, however they do not have sufficient space to have multiple team games in operation safely.
