CS15 recognises the NPPF requirement for a proactive, positive and collaborative approach to ensuring sufficient school places. Planned housing growth is expected to generate additional pupils:
Early Years 68; Primary 169; Secondary 122; Sixth Form 27.
Schools and early years settings are operating at/close to capacity. Growth in pupil numbers from housing growth and population growth justifies CS15's positive approach and the need for a new primary school in the Town Centre. Windfall development (1800 dwellings) will also generate pupils: Early Years 180; Primary 450; Secondary 324; Sixth Form 72. This overall scale can be managed through expanding existing schools.
