Proposed Expansion of Chesterton CE (VA) Primary School Forward Plan Ref: 2016/115 Contact: Diane Cameron, School Organisation Officer Tel: 07795 301254
Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF4).
This report follows a public consultation and Statutory Notice period relating to a proposal to expand Chesterton CE (VA) Primary School to 1 form entry. The proposal is supported by the school’s Governing Body and the Diocese.
Chesterton village is part of the Bicester partnership of schools, where pupil numbers have risen and large strategic housing developments are planned. To ensure sufficient pupil places are available a number of new schools are planned, and some existing schools are being expanded. Within Chesterton village there has been construction and occupation of new housing development, and more is anticipated.
This report summarises the response from the public consultation and the statutory notice, where the most common concern was around increase in traffic / parking issues at the start and end of the school day. A statement from the Governing Body of the school is also included, setting out its views on the benefit to the school of the proposal.
The decision-making power in terms of determining the proposal in this case lies with the Cabinet Member for Education.
The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the proposed expansion of Chesterton CE (VA) Primary School. Additional documents: |
