As part of the Scrutiny Work Programme
approved by the Council for the municipal year 2021/22, the
Children & Families Scrutiny Committee directed a review in
respect of School Place Sufficiency and agreed to consider:
the processes involved and assumptions relating to the School Place
Sufficiency in the Borough;
the system/processes in light of the projected expansion of places
required due to likely new house developments across the

how these processes inform school place planning decisions
(ensuring there is sufficiency of places) and how this is
influenced by parental preference.
