Background • Births in Lewisham have increased by 34% between 2000/01 and 2009/10 • Conversion rate of births to requests for places has increased from 69% to 74% • Demand for primary places has exceeded supply since 2008/09
2011/12 • 564 places added across 21 schools (many of which have taken a bulge in previous years)
Neighbouring Local Authorities • There is no centralised summary of the numbers of classes added in other Local Authorities across London • Greenwich, Lambeth. Southwark and Bromley have each opened on average 5/6 classes each year • There has been little change in patterns of cross-border migration
2012/13 • 150 permanent places will be added through the enlargement of Kilmorie, Dalmain, Gordonbrock, Brockley, Sandhurst Infants & Juniors, Kender • Supply is 3,304 places • Demand is projected to be for over 4000 places • Borough wide shortfall could be at least 18 forms of entry
Options • We have expanded Kender from 1FE to 2FE • We hope to open 2FE at a re-furbished Mornington Centre in 2013 • We know that Haberdasher Aske’s are planning to apply to open a 2FE Free school on their site
Other possibilities • We have applied for funding that would enable us to rebuild Sir Francis Drake as a 2FE school – decision awaited • We are in discussion with the developers of major sites in the area to get either a school built as part of the development OR a financial contribution
