Report by Director for Children’s Services (CA9).

The proposal is to permanently increase the school admission number at Five Acres Primary School from 45 to 60. This means that each year group would consist of up to 60 places, taught in three classes, making a maximum total of 420 pupils.

The school has admitted up to 60 children by local arrangement with Oxfordshire County Council for September 2012, however this arrangement is not permanent. This proposal is to formally change the admission number to 60 on a permanent basis from September 2014. The school has a published admission number of 45 for September 2013 but will admit up to 60 children should this proposal be approved.

The current capacity of the school is 315 and the proposed capacity will be 420. The current admission number for the school is 45 and the proposed admission number will be 60. ?????

The decision is referred to the Cabinet at the meeting on 27th November 2012.

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to approve the publication of a statutory notice for the expansion of Five Acres Primary School, Ambrosden.
