To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Learning seeking approval to determination of Wordsworth Infant School’s proposal to expand from a 1 FE Infant to a 3 FE Primary School.
Wordsworth Infant School has consulted on proposals to expand from a 2FE Infant to a 3FE Primary from September 2012. This expansion is required to accommodate an increase in the number of children needing primary school places and to balance the number of Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 places available in the Shirley area. As it is a foundation school the Governing body has carried out their own pre-statutory and statutory consultation and are now asking the City Council, subject to the final outcome of that consultation, to determine and approve the implementation of this proposals.
