ITEM EX13

EXECUTIVE – 8 JULY 2003

WOOD GREEN AND SPRINGFIELD SCHOOLS, WITNEY

Report by Director for Learning & Culture

 

  1. The Executive’s approval is sought for project appraisals (attached) in respect of two schemes which arte estimated to cost in excess of £1m. The schemes reflect the intentions of the LEA set out in the statutory School Organisation Plan.
  2. The first (ED594) is in respect of the latest phase of major building works at Wood Green School arising from new housing developments in north east Witney. The building works which form part of this latest scheme are a mix of new buildings and refurbished areas.
  3. The second appraisal (ED498/1) relates to developments on the Wood Green School site to accommodate secondary school age pupils of Springfield Special School, who are being located there from the unsatisfactory premises elsewhere in the town. This is the latest phase of a programme of improvement of facilities for all Springfield pupils, the phase for children of primary school age having been implemented last year.
  4. Some of the information in the resource appraisal attached to project appraisal ED498/1 (download as .xls file) concerns estimated proceeds from the sale of superseded premises. The resource appraisal should therefore be considered in exempt session because its discussion in public might lead to the disclosure to members of the public present "of any terms proposed or to be proposed by or to the Authority in the course of negotiations for a contract for the acquisition of disposal of property or the supply of goods or services."
  5. RECOMMENDATION

  6. The Executive is RECOMMENDED to approve project appraisals ED498/1 and ED594.
