Issue - meetings

Further to Minute 45 (11 August 2009), received a report from the Corporate Director of Children’s Services on the proposal to increase the standard admission number at Cambell Infant School to 120 pupils in each of the three year groups (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) with effect from 1 September 2010.

Noted that interim arrangements were made with effect from September 2008 to increase the intake for Reception and Year 1 to four forms of entry and this proposal will formalise that arrangement as well as introducing an additional form for Year 2 pupils.  The expansion is part of wider plans to increase school places in the infant age range in order to meet Borough-wide demand. 

Agreed, in order to assist the Council to achieve its Community Priority of “Inspired and Successful” and to fulfil its duty to provide every child in the Borough with a school place, to the formal expansion of Cambell Infant School from a three form to a four form entry Infant School with effect from the start of the Autumn Term 2010.
