This report set out the options appraisal for the building works to support the amalgamation of Thames View Infant and Junior Schools.

It was noted that the Thames View Infant and Junior schools had federated and would amalgamate in April 2012. In order for the school to sustain the number of pupils on roll, it was intended to extend the nursery accommodation. The dropping off/waiting area outside the nursery entrance would also be improved and the junior school building would have a new main entrance.

An exempt appendix set out details of the whole life costings/budget, fees payable and risk register for the building works.

The Procurement Board had considered this report on 22 December 2010 and recommended its approval to Cabinet.

Reasons:

The new facilities are required to enable the school to deliver the quality of curriculum offer for the key subjects as described in the business case section of the report and the capital programme approved by Cabinet in February 2010 includes funding for the project.
