Reasons for decision
The Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education introduced the twice-yearly update report on the primary, secondary and special school expansions, the school condition works programme and other school capital works.
The Cabinet Member outlined the significant investment over the next few years in school buildings, including £22m for increasing special needs places which would support the reduction of the deficit in the Dedicated Schools Grant.
Specific SEND projects coming to completion were noted including Charville Academy, Wood End Park Academy and Ruislip Gardens Primary School where there would be a new pupil assessment base built.
The Cabinet Member for Corporate Services sought clarification on Table 1 in the report to confirm the total places provided, which was to be sought outside the meeting.
The Leader of the Council stated the Council’s priority to ensure all young people had a school place appropriate to their needs and welcomed the Council’s investment in the school estate of circa. £45m over the next few years.
