Decision details

Outcome of consultation on proposals to expand primary provision at Fieldhead Carr Primary School.

The Director of Children’s Services submitted a report on proposals brought forward to meet the local authority’s duty to ensure sufficiency of school places, specifically the proposals to increase places at Fieldhead Carr Primary School from September 2018. The report summarised the outcome of the consultation held between 7th January 2015 and 4th February 2015 and sought permission to publish a statutory notice in respect of the proposals.

In addition, the report referenced the consultation which had taken place on a proposal for Grimes Dyke Primary School, also within the Swarcliffe/Whinmoor planning area during June 2015, and explained the reasons why Fieldhead Carr Primary was recommended as the preferred option at this stage.

RESOLVED

a)  That approval be given for the publication of a Statutory Notice to expand Fieldhead Carr Primary School from a capacity of 210 pupils to 420 pupils with an increase in the admission number from 30 to 60 with effect from September 2018.

b)  That the consultation which took place at Grimes Dyke Primary School be acknowledged, together with the fact that further school expansions will be required within this area as the East Leeds Extension progresses.

c)  That it be noted that responsible officer for implementation is the Capacity Planning and Sufficiency Lead.

As prescribed by School Organisation establishment and discontinuation regulations 2013 and Education Act 2011.
