Council and councillors

The Council wishes to commission a multi-disciplinary consultant to undertake a feasibility study to investigate expansion options for school growth at the three secondary schools situated at Catmose College, Oakham, Casterton College, Great Casterton and Uppingham Community College, Uppingham.

The feasibility study will include an analysis of all three secondary school sites in terms of location and condition of the facility and the reality of whether the project would require extension to current buildings or re-building of some or all of the site. This will give us an accurate understanding of the most appropriate site for potential expansion to meet need within the secondary school phase, and the level of funding required to deliver the associated pupil place planning requirements.

The cost of the initial phase will be circa £36,000 and will be funded from Schools Capital Maintenance.

A full report will be taken to cabinet once the feasibility is completed.
