As part of the secondary school curriculum, Physical Education is a core subject and suitable provision is required to enable a wide range of sport to be offered and ensure children are given the Best Start in Life.
The Forest School does not currently have an All Weather Pitch (AWP) facility. Following the Cabinet Member Decision in July 2020 (Decision reference ES02(20/21)) that approved the siting of additional accommodation for QEII School on some of the existing playing field at The Forest School installation of an AWP is now required to mitigate the impact.
The Cabinet Member for Learning and Skills will be asked to approve the allocation of capital funding from Section 106 contributions to undertake a project to provide an All Weather Pitch at The Forest School thereby ensuring ongoing sports provision to meet the needs of the secondary school curriculum.
