Background:

This report provided details of the review of the works undertaken at Lordswood Infant and Junior Schools to provide functional, inspirational and secure open learning environments. To do this the project provided one integrated building, which improved the accommodation for teaching and learning, made better use of the space on the ground floor, enabling all classrooms to be accommodated and situated together in year groups. The project provided access to shared resources and to outside classroom space, enabling cross class working. The final provision of a link building joined the two schools together. The link building united the schools physically as well as providing a functional weatherproof route for children, staff and visitors.

It was noted that the works were completed on time and within budget and comments from the Headteacher of Lordswood Primary School were included within the report.

It was noted that the Gateway 4 report had been approved for submission to the Cabinet after review and discussion by the Children and Adult Directorate Management Team and Procurement Board.

An exempt appendix contained finance and whole-life costings information for this project.

Reasons:

The contract was one-off with no additional termed requirements.
