Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF4).

 

This proposal is led by Oxfordshire County Council and is to formally remove the boarding provision at the "hostel" run as part of Northfield School, Oxford. The report sets out what alternative provision is envisaged in due course.

 

The reason for the proposal is that following a Health & Safety survey, the building had to be closed to students and is beyond economic repair.

 

The proposal includes the intention to use receipts of the sale of the site to improve the main building of Northfield School.

 

The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Families is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposal to close the boarding facility at Northfield School.
