North Mundham Primary School - Funding for Replacement of Modular Teaching Accommodation

North Mundham Primary School is a 210 place, 7 class school for children aged 4-11 years old.  The school consists of a broad range of buildings including a double modular unit which has been identified as requiring replacement due to its age and significant condition issues.

 

Projections indicate that the 60 pupil places currently accommodated in the modular block are required, to ensure continued capacity for children of primary age in the village and wider locality. Without the pupil places West Sussex County Council will be unable to meet its statutory duties to ensure sufficient school places in this area.

 

It is proposed to replace the modular unit with two new classrooms in permanent, traditional construction.  Therefore, authority is sought for the allocation of funding required to enable this work to be progressed.
