About us

The team is responsible for providing an effective schools’ planning service through the coordination of school places and identifying the need to add or remove school places due to housing developments and socio-demographic changes.

We identify the impact on schools of house building and develop proposals to mitigate the impact of development and to negotiate with developers, schools and District or Borough Councils to achieve these improvements. Increases or reduction in school places are often subject to statutory consultation and the requirement to commission capital projects to ensure sufficient places are available as required.
