To consider a Report of the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services seeking an approval for a proposed amendment to capital expenditure.
On 26 September 2011, Cabinet gave approval for expenditure of £485,000 on capital investment at Upper Shirley High. The proposed works included investment in reinstating a portion of the roofing; replacing pipework and windows; and building an additional toilet block. Since becoming an Academy, however, the School’s priorities have shifted and it is now proposed that this money be invested in the building of a double-storey modular classroom block, in order to provide additional space for their increasing intake.
