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

The proposal is to permanently increase the school admission number at Queensway Primary School to 60 from 45. This means that each year group would consist of up to 60 places, taught in two classes of 30 children each, making a maximum total of 420 pupils.

This proposal is to formally change the admission number to 60 on a permanent basis from September 2014. This proposal is related to a concurrent option appraisal on how the necessary accommodation required might be provided.

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 Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to approve the publication of a statutory notice for the expansion of Watchfield Primary School.
