LEARNING CITY PROGRAMME: SECONDARY SCHOOLS BUILDING PROGRAMME
What?
Development of secondary school at Croydon Arena
Where?
South Norwood and Woodside
When?
August 2015
Why?
Demand for places are projected to increase, and projections indicate that demand
for a further 10FE will be needed from 2015. This growth is concentrated in the
north and central parts of the borough.. A major housing development is to take
place in the West Coulsdon ward at Cane Hill, with the new total demand for school
places between 2015-16 and 2017-18 education years being estimated at 72 in the
secondary phase.
Stakeholder Engagement Since March 2012:
The consultation period took place between 6th February to 28th March 2013, with
an additional public meeting also taking place. In addition to these public meetings,
officers met with key sports provider to understand their requirements from the
project and gain their input.
Progress Since March 2012:
Feasibility study due to be complete in October 2013.
Risks:
This project is dependant on the relocation of Ryelands primary school as the
utilisation of the existing Ryelands building would allow education provision
to continue as planned.
There is also issues regarding opposition of the respondents of the public
consultation, as concerns were raised over the perceived impact on residents,
traffic congestion and people movement.
Issues were also raised regarding the encroachment onto the Metropolitan
Open Land.
Mitigation:
Croydon Council is commissioning a full traffic impact study to identify how
best to minimise the impact of any increased traffic movements.
