Overview

Surrey County Council and the Governing Body of Meadowcroft Infant School are proposing to change the age range of Meadowcroft Infant School from a one-form entry infant school to a one-form entry primary school and expand their premises to accommodate the additional children.

 

 

Why your views matter

It is proposed that Meadowcroft Infant School’s age range is changed to accommodate ages 4-11, becoming a 1FE primary school. This would allow for a roll of 210 pupils across the school.

Further building work will be required on the site of the school to provide appropriate accommodation for the additional pupils.

If the proposal to expand Meadowcroft to 210 places is successful, there will also be a consultation to amend the admissions criteria and reduce the PAN at St Ann’s Heath Junior School, from 90 to 60 places. This will be put forward through the School Admissions consultation process for September 2024.

We are now undertaking a consultation on the proposal to change the age range of Meadowcroft Infant School from a one-form entry infant school to a one-form entry primary school and expand their premises to accommodate the additional children.
