To report the outcome of further consultation
on locating a new school in the Borstal area.
The Cabinet recommended to Council to approve
the new option of creating a single form of entry Church of England
all through primary school and new joint community and school
sports and recreational facilities, on the Borstal Playing Field
site, and authorise statutory notices to be published.
The Cabinet agreed to authorise the Director of Education and
Leisure to submit a planning application to bring forward the
proposal outlined above provided all necessary approvals are
obtained following the issue of the statutory notices.
The Borstal playing field site option offers
the most potential for creating a school for the 21st century in
Borstal. The size, suitability and environment of the site is
conducive to 'joined up' school, recreational and sports facilities
that will benefit not only children's education in Borstal, but
also the needs of the community. This issue would normally be a
matter for Cabinet, as it is consistent with the School
Organisation Plan, however, the Borstal Playing Field site option
is not in compliance with the Development Plan, and therefore needs
to be referred to Council.
