Under Section 19 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, a local authority can propose the expansion of all categories of maintained school. It is proposed to expand Woodstock Church of England Primary School to 2 forms of entry, which would require an increase in Woodstock’s admission number in September 2023 from 45 to 60 on a permanent basis.

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the expansion of Woodstock Church of England Primary School to 2 forms of entry with effect from 1 September 2023, increasing its capacity from 315 to 420 primary school places. 

CONDITION: approval is subject to the granting of planning permission.

Recommendations agreed.
