6. Community Infrastructure Levy

Representation ID: 49674

Received: 20/07/2012

Respondent: Barford St. Peter's Primary School

Representation Summary:

Barford primary school has a current admission number of 20 places which are consistently fully subscribed. The proposed development of 100 houses will generate extra numbers of children to be accommodated by the school and the Preferred Options identifies the school to become a Single Form Entry school and hence accommodate 30 pupils per year/intake. This is not possible with the current infrastructure and staffing levels. There needs to be a clear funding strategy to provide essential provision of built infrastructure and staff to accommodate pupils generated from new housing whilst not disadvantaging current residents, pupils and their families.

The proposed development of 100 houses will inevitably generate extra numbers of children to be accommodated by the school and the Preferred Options identifies the school to become a Single Form Entry school and hence accommodate 30 pupils per year/intake.
This is not possible with the current infrastructure and staffing levels. There needs to be a clear strategy to ensure adequate funding to provide essential provision of built infrastructure and staff to accommodate pupils generated from new housing whilst not disadvantaging current residents, pupils and their families.
