Property Holdings (Rolling Entry)
West Sussex County Council (WSCC) provides school accommodation for maintained schools across the county.
The Fordwater School in Chichester (“the school”) caters for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with severe and complex learning difficulties. The school is in urgent need of additional accommodation in Chichester.
The opportunity to lease a building in Chichester has arisen which can provide a temporary solution. The former sixth form centre at Chichester High School, Kingsham Rd, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 8EB, is owned by WSCC but subject to a 125 year Academy Lease to The Kenmal Academies Trust and available for a sub-lease back to the County Council for a term of 10 years with a break clause after 7 years. This sub-lease will require Department for Education consent.
