(i) To consider and take into account the outcome of statutory consultation as set out in Appendix 1.
(ii) To approve the implementation of the enlargement of Wordsworth Infant School from a 2FE Infant to a 3FE primary from 1 September 2012. This will be achieved by admitting 30 extra children to year R from 1 September 2012 and in subsequent years. The school will change from an infant school to become an all through primary school by changing the age range of pupils to be admitted from 4-7 year olds to 4-11 year olds. In order to achieve the change of age range the school will expand. Up to 90 pupils will be permitted to transfer from Year 2 (age 6) to Year 3 (age 7) or be admitted as casual vacancies to Year 3 (age 7) from 1 September 2015 and in subsequent years. This would have the effect of enlarging the school from a 2FE (60 places per year group) infant to a 3FE (90 Places per year group) primary, and increasing the net capacity of the school from 180 to 630 by 1 September 2018.
(iii) To note that the high level estimate of capital costs associated with the implementation of this decision is circa £4m, and to note the assumptions about affordability as set out paragraphs 11 – 20.
