Purpose

St Augustine’s CE Primary
School, located in Scaynes Hill, close
to Haywards Heath, is a 105 place school for 4-11 year olds
incorporating 4 classrooms. One of the four classrooms is in 30
year old modular accommodation which has significant suitability
and condition issues due to the age of the buildings. Projections
indicate that there is continuing need to maintain provision for
105 pupil places at the school to ensure continued capacity for
children of primary age in the village but also within the wider
locality.  Therefore, it is necessary to
replace the modular unit to maintain the ability of accommodating a
class of 30 pupils at the school.
 
Approval is required for the
allocation of funding from received S106 monies within the Capital
Programme to replace the life expired modular classroom at St
Augustine’s CE Primary School with permanent accommodation.
In addition, the budget will fund all associated fees, ICT and
furniture and equipment.

Decision

The Assistant Director (Property and Assets)
has approved the allocation of £0.728m received S106
contributions to fund the replacement accommodation and associated
external works, as set out in paragraph 2.1 of the report, to
enable the ongoing retention of 30 places at St Augustine’s
CE Primary School and to procure the delivery of the works in so
far as required.
