Consultation to increase the number of pupils on roll at Camberwell Park
What are we planning to do?
Increase the number of pupils that can attend the school from 188 to 238. This would be an increase of 50 pupils.
Why do we want to make this change?
The LA have requested that we provide spaces for additional pupils in order to meet demand for children with special educational needs living in Manchester. They have a statutory duty to provide sufficient, appropriate school places.
In providing space for the additional pupils the school would be able to develop the site to benefit existing pupils. This is because the LA would provide funding to develop the current campus. This development would see the two separate buildings being joined together to create a new reception area. There would also be further development of existing classrooms and some of the outdoor play areas.
Without these additional funds we would not be able to afford this site development.
