We did

Danetree’s governing body and GLF Schools are making a Fast Track application to the Secretary of State for Education to allow “a significant change to an academy”. Surrey County Council will undertake building and refurbishment works, subject to planning approval. In 2016, Danetree’s junior PAN will remain as 128 Y3 places and include an additional Reception PAN of 120. From 2017 there will be no junior PAN.

Overview

Surrey County Council, together with Danetree Junior School, Ewell Grove Infant and Nursery School, and West Ewell Infant and Nursery School, have been working together to look at the increasing demand for primary school places in the Ewell area and how these schools can best meet these changing needs in the future.

Our proposal is that:

Danetree Junior School changes from a four form of entry (4FE) junior school to a 4FE all through primary school with a nursery.  The proposed change would take effect from September 2016, when it would admit 90 pupils in Reception.  In September 2017 it would admit up to 120 Reception pupils.  By September 2018, Danetree Primary School would have pupils in every primary year group.

Ewell Grove Infant and Nursery School changes from a 2.3 form of entry (2.3FE) infant school to a 2FE all through primary school.  The proposed change would take effect from September 2017, when it would retain its first Year 3 cohort of pupils.  By September 2020, Ewell Grove Primary School would have pupils in every primary year group.

West Ewell Infant and Nursery school changes from a 4FE infant school to a 2FE all through primary school.  The proposed change would take effect from September 2017, when it would admit 60 pupils in Reception, and retain its first Year 3 cohort of pupils.  By September 2020, West Ewell Primary School would have pupils in every primary year group.

Works will be undertaken on all three school sites to provide appropriate facilities, which will be funded by Surrey County Council.
