Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDE4).

Bampton Primary School has applied to open a Foundation Stage Unit (new nursery class). On 4 February 2013 the Cabinet Member agreed the recommendation at Stage 1 of the proposal for publication of a statutory notice. As no objections have been received, at Stage 2 the Cabinet Member for Education will determine the proposal as the ‘decision maker’ under the Education and Inspections Act 2006. This requires consideration of the proposal against the factors that must be considered as laid down in statutory guidance. The report requires the cabinet member to reject the proposal or approve it with a modification or subject to meeting a specific condition.

The Cabinet Member for Education is RECOMMENDED to either:

(a)      reject the proposal;

(b)      approve the proposal;

(c)      approve the proposal with a modification (e.g. the proposed implementation date);

(d)      approve the proposal subject to them meeting the specific conditions:

·                that all remedial and preventative building works recommended in the Carillion survey of the temporary unit be fully funded from pre-school and school reserves;

·                that an asbestos management survey of the temporary unit be undertaken;

·                that the school revise their fire management programme to include the temporary unit;

·                that the pre-school write to the Headteacher to confirm transfer of ownership or ‘gift’ of the temporary unit and surrender their lease;

·                that all conditions are met before the proposed implementation date.

Agreed.
