Report by Director for Children’s Services (CA15).

he governing body’s proposal is to increase the school admission number (at F1 entry) from 45 to 60.  Because the published admission number for 2012 and 2013 has already been published, the school's admission number can only now formally change from September 2014. However, the school has agreed to accept over its official admission number in 2012 and has written into its policy for 2013 that it may agree to do the same to work with the Local Authority to meet demand for places.

To accommodate this growth in pupil numbers, there will be some extension of the school’s buildings, and a feasibility study is underway to investigate how this can best be provided.      

A decision is now required on whether to support the governing body in their publication of a statutory notice and proceding to Stage Two of the statutory process in seeking formal representations.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to support the governing body’s wish to publish a statutory notice for the expansion of St Ebbe’s CE (A) Primary School, Oxford.
