Oakwood School Expansion

Overview

Surrey County Council is proposing that Oakwood School is enlarged from eight forms of entry (8FE) at Year 7 to nine forms of entry (9FE) at Year 7, from September 2018. It is further proposed to enlarge the school from nine forms of entry (9FE) to ten forms of entry (10FE), from September 2019. As a result, the school will be enlarged from a 1,200-place Secondary School, 240 places per year from Year 7 to Year 11, to a 1,500-place Secondary School, 300 places per year from Year 7 to Year 11. The school would grow incrementally, year-on-year, as the higher intake of 300 pupils works its way progressively through the age range. As such, the school will effectively reach its new capacity of 1,500 places in September 2023.

The school in its new form would be designed to serve children across the Horley area.

A building project will be undertaken on the existing site to provide the necessary additional capacity, for which the relevant planning permission will be applied.
