To authorise the expenditure of approximately £300k (final cost estimate awaited, will be included within the content of the scheme specific DCR) to facilitate the second phase of the required ‘bulge’ cohort works following the work completed summer 2016. This phase will provide additional ancillary space required to allow the school to operate with its increased numbers on roll. This is required to fulfil the aims of the Learning Places Programme, necessary to ensure sufficient pupil places. The increase in pupil numbers will be effective from September 2017. The budget estimate quoted includes all necessary construction works to facilitate this project, professional design fees, professional surveys and any necessary decant required to facilitate a late August 2017 occupation. Bramham Primary school has been identified as necessary to ensure sufficient pupil places are available in the area for September.
