Overall, ESCC welcomes the emphasis on raising educational attainment and investment in educational facilities that appear throughout the document.
Further detailed work will be have to be done to help us to estimate the exact extent of the need for any additional primary and secondary provision and the timing of such provision. There will still be limitations of any pupil number forecasts made for the longer term.
It is welcomed that the document addresses the Building Schools for the Future programme and the Primary Capital Programme which aim to provide new or refurbished schools. it should be made clear that this does not negate Developer contributions through planning obligations in relation to major housing development.
