Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDPHE5).

The Governing Body of Kingham Primary School, working with the Local Authority, is proposing to alter the school’s age range from 4-11 to 2-11, to provide a nursery offering 48 part time equivalent funded places

Kingfishers Playgroup, which currently operates on the school site under a lease from the local authority, has voted to close at the end of the summer term 2018. This is due to ongoing pressures in maintaining the voluntary community committee structure, particularly in terms of administrative management and responsibility. The school governors wish to ensure that early years provision continues to be available at the school.

The Cabinet Member for Public Health & Education is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed change of age range at Kingham Primary School.
