5.62 SCC is planning on the basis that, by 2021, between 6-8 additional forms of entry in<br />

Woking will be required, 4 forms of entry in Spelthorne and between 5 and 6 additional<br />

forms of entry in <strong>Runnymede</strong>. There are expected to be sufficient secondary school<br />

places in Surrey Heath during this period. Officers at SCC have met with schools to<br />

discuss how this demand could be met but these discussions are at a relatively early<br />

stage and plans have not yet been defined to the point where individual projects can be<br />

named.<br />

5.63 In terms of school expansion which is planned within <strong>Runnymede</strong>, against the lack of<br />

development in <strong>Runnymede</strong>’s state school sector, private schools continue to expand.<br />

Most noteworthy expansion plans which the <strong>Council</strong> is aware of at the <strong>Borough</strong>’s<br />

secondary schools are listed as follows:<br />

5.64 Expansion and rationalisation of facilities both on and off campus up to 2015-2018 at<br />

The American School in Switzerland (TASIS). This is following the approval of a<br />

masterplan at the site in 2008 (under RU.07/1153). The proposals would allow for an<br />

increase in the number of students from 725 to 800.<br />

5.65 In 2010, outline permission was granted (RU.10/0025) for a 10 year outline Master <strong>Plan</strong><br />

at Sir William Perkins’s School (outlining proposed works on campus up to 2020).<br />

Since this time, a number of reserved matters applications have been approved for<br />

various elements of the masterplan under RU.10/0422 and RU.11/0292.<br />

5.66 The DERA site is expected to generate around 491 pupils of secondary school age.<br />

This is considered to be too small a number to generate the provision of an additional<br />

stand alone Secondary School in the <strong>Borough</strong>, however it is possible that when<br />

combined with potential shortfalls in provision in the surrounding area that a secondary<br />

school at DERA could become a viable option.<br />

Costs and funding sources<br />

5.67 Currently there are no state school expansion plans.<br />

5.68 The alterations and extensions proposed to TASIS and Sir William Perkins’s School will<br />

be funded privately. The costs are unknown.<br />

5.69 DCSF Cost Multipliers have been used to estimate the expected cost per pupil of a<br />

typical secondary school building project. In 2008/09 the capital cost of a secondary<br />

school place was approximately £18,469. This figure is commonly used by Local<br />

Authorities to estimate school building projects. The figure is based on 2008/09, prices<br />

and therefore needs to be index linked. Based on the Building Cost Information Service<br />

figures, the cost of general school building projects decreased by 8.6% between Q3<br />

2008 and Q3 2011 (£/m2). A location factor of 1.12 is applicable to projects in Surrey to<br />

reflect the higher costs in the South East when compared to the national average. The<br />

following calculations therefore provide the cost per place for a secondary school place,<br />

accurate from Q3 2011. SCC has not updated this calculation to present day to keep<br />

the assessment of costs consistent with those provided to other <strong>Borough</strong>s and Districts.<br />

It should be noted that the following per place calculation does not factor in the costs of<br />

land acquisition, site abnormalities or any other exceptional costs that might be<br />

incurred. However, it is deemed a reasonable benchmark for a typical secondary<br />

school building project.<br />
