Primary education in Warwick & Leamington needs to be revisited to take into account the sites in the draft local plan and the most recent planning applications for Gallows Hill/Europa Way and the Asps, we calculate the
developments will generate approximately 1,600 primary age pupils, requiring a total of 8 forms of entry primary provision. We envisage that yields from small sites such
as the former sewage works, the former Ridgeway school and Bishop's Tachbrook can be met within existing provision, thus requiring an additional 6.5 forms of entry of
primary accommodation.
The draft local plan infrastructure delivery plan identifies that 5 forms of entry are expected to be met from the developments around Europa Way (including one form of entry on the Asps site, if this goes ahead). We support the proposal in the draft plan to expand Whitnash
Primary School by 0.5 forms of entry to provide for children expected to come from the Sydenham development site. However, there will still be a requirement for a
1form of entry school in that area to meet demand. This is not currently identified inthe draft plan.
