However Members sought clarification on the following items:
Agenda Item 8 – Requirements for Additional Primary School Places.
Schools in this process?
[Subsequent to the meeting, officers provided the following response:
“It is recognised that implementing an
expansion and managing a larger school will present challenges. The
aim will be to ensure that the design of new and/or remodelled
accommodation will provide improved learning and environments and
other facilities (e.g. increased kitchen capacity) to support
expansion. Building work will be managed to keep disruption to the
school to a minimum. Schools that expand will receive an in-year
budget adjustment ("expanding schools" funding). Support would also
be available through the School Improvement Service or other
appropriate ECS
service.”]
“It is expected that work on site will be programmed so that additional accommodation for the Early Years will be completed first. However, the position will vary from site to site, depending upon the accommodation that schools have already and upon site constraints The timing of building work would be discussed with each school.”
Agenda Item 9 - Review of the Local List of Buildings of Architectural or Historical Importance
Members asked that the Wards of the buildings on the list be re-checked as the first four buildings contained in the Hayes list on page 99 of the agenda are in Botwell and not Townfield.
[Subsequent to the meeting, officers provided the following response:
“Members comments have been noted and the list
has been updated
accordingly.”]
The
class rooms at Rabbsfarm are needed to
accommodate the school's existing admission number (i.e. no
expansion is involved). Historically, the school has not been full
in all year groups and has not needed accommodation for 2 forms of
entry throughout the school. As numbers are growing, the school now
needs 2fe accommodation for all year
groups. |
