Another Increase in Chafford School Places

As the last Schools Admissions Forum meeting (which both Cllr Veryard and Cllr Tunde are members), the following issues were requested on behalf of Schools in Chafford Hundred:

Campus
· Chafford Hundred Business & Enterprise College have requested an increase in admission number from 180 to 210 a year; and
· Also requested to alter the upper age limit at the school by adding a sixth form.

Primary Schools
· Chafford Hundred Primary School has requested an increase in admission number from 60 to 90 a year.
· Warren Primary School has requested an increase in admission number from 60 to 90 a year.

The proposed changes will be the subject of consultation, but if agreed, then it will increase primary school places in Chafford to 270, as follows:

Chafford Primary School – 90
Warren Primary School – 90
Tudor Court – 90
Due to the huge request for places in Chafford Schools this academic year we already have 270 places as we had additional classes in both Warren and Chafford Primary Schools.

This proposal will make the provision permanent and remove any concerns residents have about school places for next year.

Please contact Cllr Tunde if you have any queries about this.
