Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
|
To approve capital expenditure for additional temporary classrooms at Marlbrook School |
Decision:
|
|
Reasons for the decision:
To enable parental demand to be met in accordance with the principles set out in Herefordshire schools capital investment strategy.
Alternative options considered:
No capital investment is made. Additional places for 30 children in a reception could not be accommodated at Marlbrook in September 2016 and September 2017. The children would have to be accommodated at another school in South Wye. For a number of years there are more children whose parents have requested a place at Marlbrook than there are places available at the school, including parents who wish all their children to attend the school. While there are other schools in the area that
might accommodate these children parental choice over a number of years has been for places at Marlbrook school. There are also indications of a longer term need for places.
There is permanent build to make Marlbrook a full three form entry school accommodating 630 children. While this may be the long term solution agreed under the school capital investment strategy there is insufficient time to implement this for September 2016. Approval of a full business case for the permanent solution along with design and build time would be such that this could only be completed by
September 2017.
